  Vault (gymnastics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vault, formerly known as vaulting horse, is an artistic gymnastics apparatus.
The distance of the springboard from the vaulting table is determined by the height and strength of the gymnast, as well as the vault she or he is performing.
The vaulting horse, and the vaulting-buck even more, are also ideally suited for use (especially in a school or reformatory, nearly always equipped with a gym anyhow) as a punishment horse for the 'horsed' position (with or without restraints) which exposes and raises then tensed body for the efficient, often public administration of a spanking.
