The project – to develop a Landing Pad (LP) for skiers and snowboarders – is inspired by a tragic snowboarding accident that left Aaron a quadriplegic and sparked his desire to give something back to the sport he loves: an invention that allows skiers and snowboarders to progress with reduced risk.

Katal has spent 5 years developing large-scale inflatable technology to produce effective safety products. The Katal setup is the most progressive freestyle setup ever offered to the public.  Unlike our competitors generic airbags, each LP is designed to include a landing transition that gives the rider a clear landing target adding that critical element of realism that makes it easier to apply tricks learned of the LP back to a real snow jump.
