Abstract
A device for receiving a user and cushioning an impact where a plurality of air displacement units are connected through air displacement units comprising discrete pillars extending above base cells where base cells are selectively connected to adjoining base cells to attenuate and manage air flow. A tarp connected to each base cell provides positional stability and a cover connected across a top surface of the device provides a working surface to receive a user. The combined elements provide a cushioned impact for a user. The device can be inflated with a portable blower positioned within the device that can be battery powered to provide a mobile and portable inflatable impact device.
