Dominator FTS Crash Pad

The crash pad with the highest absorption effect in the world

The Dominator is designed to absorb falls when highballing. It is filled with the thickest FTS absorption block: 11 cm. This is the ultimate crash pad for demanding boulderers who need maximum protection for high-consequence falls.

FTS Technology (Foam Tube Suspension):

Ocun's FTS Absorption Block is a unique solution introduced in 2011 that combines suspension and absorption. The construction of the block is designed to deform the combination of foams to lessen the impact of a climber's fall. The pad is made up of three layers:

• Stiff polyethylene foam upper layer (20mm PE foam): Provides initial impact protection
• FTS Absorption Block 110mm (PE + PU): Creates suspension system that absorbs impact energy using polyethylene foam template middle layer filled with polyethylene tubes
• Polyethylene foam bottom layer (15mm PE foam): Prevents deformation during higher falls and maintains pad stability

This construction is more efficient than traditional horizontal layer construction, and the pad remains stable over time without collapsing in the middle. The unique design of the absorption block ensures efficient absorption even at the edges of the pad enabling adjustment of the absorption effect.
