Welcome to Our Mission: Enhancing Gymnastics Safety with Innovation
Revolutionizing Gymnastics Safety and Performance with Precision Engineering
Hello and welcome to our first post on Substack! I’m Scott M. Weller, CEO of King Bars Entertainment & King Bars Sports, LLC. Our mission is to revolutionize gymnastics safety through innovative technology. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Gymnastics is a sport that combines grace, strength, and precision. However, it also carries significant risks, particularly when athletes train and compete on outdated equipment. Ensuring the safety of gymnasts is paramount to allowing them to perform at their best and avoid preventable injuries.
Scott M. Weller, CEO, King Bars Sports, LLC
“Gymnastics is a beautiful and dynamic sport, but it can also be dangerous, particularly when athletes are training and competing on outdated and potentially unsafe equipment. As an inventor, I believe that it is our responsibility to use technology to make the sport safer for athletes at all levels.”
Our Weller Spring Floor technology is designed to enhance safety and performance. Through rigorous testing and engineering, we have developed a floor that significantly reduces the risk of injuries by providing superior shock absorption and energy transfer.
🌟 EASIER ON THE ATHLETE™
Weller Floor Features Patented Variable Pitch Engineering.
✨ What is Variable Pitch Engineering?
It works by altering the pitch of the springs within the floor, resulting in a frequency response that reduces the stress on the athlete’s body during certain movements, i.e., dorsiflexion.
🚗 An Analogy: This innovation has been likened to airbags in automobiles, which increase the impact time over which the body is stopped, reducing the force and risk of injury.

“The future development of gymnastics is a complex and complicated process. Part of it involves new technique for elements and creation of new skills. But human abilities are limited, and therefore, we need new, modern gymnastics apparatus, which would help gymnasts perform new skills and at the same time provide safety.”
Key Findings from Our Research
Superior Shock Absorption: Weller Spring Floor demonstrates a slightly lower dominant frequency (~8 Hz) compared to traditional cylindrical springs and foam blocks (~9 Hz), indicating better shock absorption capabilities.
Enhanced Energy Transfer: In terms of impulse, which measures the total force over time, Weller showed lower values. This means Weller provides better energy dissipation, crucial for both performance and injury prevention.
Superior Rate of Force Development: Weller Spring Floor produces a higher rate of force development on the downward motion and a lower rate of force development on the upward motion. This translates to safer landings, more power on takeoff, greater control over movements, and more time in the air.

“Sadly, we believe that the floor and vault board are major contributors to Achilles tendon and other injuries. In my view, there is a problem with apparatus design that has its genesis in a lack of understanding of the nature of impact, vibration, and energy return of the apparatus.”
Scott M. Weller, Founder and Inventor, King Bars Sports, LLC.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of athletes. As a company, we are committed to advancing the technology of gymnastics equipment to make the sport safer and more enjoyable for all. We are proud to introduce our latest innovation, variable pitch engineering, and are excited to work with industry leaders to prioritize the safety of gymnasts around the world.”

🌟 Fine-Tuned for Gymnasts: The Weller Advantage! 🤸♀️✨
Dear Gymnastics Enthusiasts,
Ever wondered about the perfect "tuning" for gymnastics? Look no further! Weller Spring Floor goes beyond the ordinary, providing a precisely tuned experience for every athlete.
🎵 The Art of Tuning:
Adjustable Support: No more one-size-fits-all. The Weller system adapts to the weight and movement of each gymnast, ensuring optimal support. All sizes/weight get comparable bounce!
Reduced Vibrations: Our patented technology reduces vibrations with smoother acceleration, allowing for a smoother and more controlled performance.
Balanced Rebounding: Say goodbye to wild bounces! Weller Spring Floor's tuned response enhances timing and reduces the risk of injury.
🔍 The Weller Difference:
✅ Proper Tuning: Each element - force, impulse, vibration - is tuned for an athlete-centric experience.
✅ Easier on Athletes: With a closer-matched response, Weller Spring Floor is designed to be EASIER ON THE ATHLETE™.
