Testing:
All Kwik Goal designs are thoroughly tested for safety and durability. Goals are tested for entrapment and entanglement hazards, sharp edges, unsafe projections, durability and strength. Goals are held to the strictest goal industry and recreation equipment standards. Conditions of normal use and foreseeable abuses are analyzed. These tests not only ensure the safety of all involved, but also verify the quality of the product.
- Entrapment tests are preformed to assure there are no potential areas for a child or adult to get a body part trapped in the goal frame.
- A goal's design is visibly checked for sharp edges that could cause injury to the user.
- Templates in accordance with recreational equipment standards are used to detect situations where protruding components could cause injury.
- Mechanical testing is performed with compliance with American and European specifications.
- Pull tests are performed on goals to ensure the integrity of the design.
- The swing test is performed to improve the goal frame and anchoring system will withstand extreme abuse by uneducated users.
