KEEPING AIRZONE SAFE

Contrary to what people may feel when they are suspended 36m (over 6 stories high) at the highest point of AIRZONE, with just a net beneath them, they are extremely safe!Let me bore you with just how safe AIRZONE is. The safety factors we designed for at AIRZONE (a safety factor being how many times more safe than it needs to be) exceeds all of the engineering guidelines for the actual mall building itself. All engineering structures and materials designed and selected for AIRZONE are 10 times stronger than what they actually need to be. Compared to the shopping mall's engineering design safety factor of 6 times we just went the extra mile with a big 10 times!Applying a " Kiasu, Kiasi...." philosophy, we are designed to comply to international safety standards for playgrounds and 'high ropes courses'. We are also actively regulated by Singapore Authorities (BCA and SCDF).

Let's take our durable nets as an example. The material of the net is one that is very interesting (for those interested in materials!). It is a strong type of net which is predominantly used offshore for fishing nets. Therefore it is usually subjected to salt, cold, wet and a choppy sea environment. AIRZONE experiences a dry and cool 22 degrees with the mall's AC with very little exposure to UV light and therefore the material is significantly less stressed than it would be in its original intended outdoor environment.

Furthermore; we have adhere to operational standards where we restrict our capacity to  60 pax at any one time even though our nets are designed for much higher loading. The strength comes from the way it is made. Like spider webs, the braided ropes are extremely strong and forming a net spreads the load over an area causing the forces to be distributed creating a very strong surface. That is why one level of our nets can actually hold two fully laden SBS buses lying side by side!Although it appears 'scary' because it is suspended at heights, flexible and bouncy like trapeze safety nets, our playground is actually considered to be a 'soft play' environment. Making it a toddler friendly playground and a safe playground for children.

Safety doesn't only come from the design though; it comes from between the ears. Everyone has a role to play. Hence; abide by the simple participation instructions we provide:

- No flips or somersaults

- One person climbing and sliding at any one time

- Adopt correct position: crossed ankles and arms when sliding

- No loose articles

Our crew are always on hand and in the vicinity to assist all our visitors. We even conduct emergency drills ensuring we are ready for an evacuation should we need to undertake it. On a more pressing subject, we love to clean. We regularly clean and sanitise all of AIRZONE. The ball pit is cleaned by means of a special machine which processes dirty balls; washes them; dries them and then blows them back when they sparkle.I hope this provides some insight to just how safe the design and operation is at AIRZONE. From ensuring the design has extra capacity; to the highly trained staff for operations. We trust you will have an awesome time with us and join the hundreds of thousands of guests that have enjoyed a safe and fun time at AIRZONE (many of whom continue to return time and time again to play)!
