The problem with resi & foam jumps is that they dont stop you from landing on top of the bike, or the bike from landing on top of you. I think when I bailed a flair into the foam pit at 'Vertical Extreme' skatepark and landed with my knee on top of my rear axle nut , I was pretty lucky to only lose some skin and a bit of flesh. And pretty lucky when my bike came within an inch of landing on top of my head for whatever reason - bikes weren't light back in 1999.
