Safety Features | The FlipSled

Injury Preventative Grip

The custom handle design allows the athletes to mimic explosive movements, such as the tire flip, with a palms down (pronated) grip instead of a palms up (supinated) grip.

Adjustable Weight

Multiple weight pins allow athletes to follow the progressive overload theory. Train with the appropriate weight and become stronger by naturally adapting.

More Predictable Tracking

Due to a tires circular shape, tires bounce/roll unpredictably and can cause collateral injury to bystanders. The square rubber on the FlipSled lands and moves in a predictable way thereby minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding athletes.

Fire Code Alignment

Although tires do not ignite readily, if subjected to fire conditions they can burn rapidly emitting intense heat and large quantities of toxic smoke and are difficult to extinguish. You can confidently store multiple FlipSleds together without being concerned about violating fire code.

Spotting Handles

Spotters increase confidence, and muscle development, and decrease the risk of injury. The custom handles on this sled allow for the spotting of an athlete and are a great safety benefit regardless of skill level.
