[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the cushioning really that big a deal? If you only have 9 feet walls, how much are they going to get hurt? My daughter climbs up the door frame all the time. I think she fell once but didn't really get hurt.[/quote] Yes. For example outside playground equipment should never be on grass--when there's a fall it ends up in more broken bones and concussions b/c it's not a forgiving surface. Yet people do it all the time. Take the cue from places that specialize in falls, e.g., elder care and/or an OT room. You can buy mats that fold up and be put away that would give appropriate padding. Also, since the OP's asking about a basement, often their just concrete slabs under carpeting, tile, or hardwood floors.[/quote]
