There are two varieties of fencing: A-net and B-net.<\/p>\n
A-net is more rigid, often permanent, and used to prevent racers from flying off the course and into dangerous areas, off cliffs, into rocks and the like.<\/p>\n
B-net is temporary and closer to webbing that\u2019s aimed at absorbing the kinetic energy of a falling skier. Frequently, there are multiple layers of B-net with space in between that combined to act as a catcher\u2019s mitt.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey put nets where you have really big fall zones and high-speed sections, places where you need that extra level of protection,\u201d Morse said.<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t like tumbling into a pit of foam blocks, though.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe A-net is much more like hitting a trampoline,\u201d Morse said. \u201cThe B-net is designed to come out of the ground and wrap you like a blanket. … When you go into the nets, your boot buckles, your bindings, your skis, they all get tangled in the webbing.\u201d<\/p>\n
So what does it feel like when you\u2019re going 70-80 mph?<\/p>\n
\u201cTerrible,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like you\u2019re in a washing machine getting hit with sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”> There are two varieties of fencing: A-net and B-net.
