Incidental Padding
Incidental Padding, also known as 'Courtesy Padding', is a padded non-striking surface intended to limit injuries from incidental contact with parts that are not strike-legal.
- Must have at least 0.5” of safety-grade foam over the weapon’s core. It must provide enough cushioning to prevent the core from being felt during a typical strike but it does not need to be as comfortable as strike-legal padding.
- Any portions of Incidental Padding that lies within 0.5” of a striking surface must be covered in the same manner as the adjacent strike-legal surface.
- Incidental Padding that is not within 0.5" of a striking surface may have a non-abrasive rubber coating (or non-vinyl equivalent) applied so long as it does not compromise the purpose of the padding by making it too firm.
