 Climbing Crash Pad Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Today, stupidity is no excuse for not using a crash pad — there are over 30 models ranging from $90 to $355, some as portable as daypacks, others so big they require a minivan or pickup truck to transport.
Inside a crash pad (open the zipper or Velcro seam along one side) are two or more layers of foam of two different densities: closed-cell on the top and open-cell on the bottom.
The pad lacks a carrying handle, and the speed buckles aren’t very speedy to use, as the webbing eyelets are too small for the metal tabs.

Also presented in Crash Pad was "Slipline", a quintet of female dancers in white, by Adele Myers and Dancers.
