What is the Gmax threshold according to ASTM 1292 Test Method?

150 Gmax
200 Gmax
250 Gmax
100 Gmax

The correct answer is: 200 Gmax

The Gmax threshold according to ASTM 1292 Test Method is 200 Gmax. This refers to the maximum acceleration in units of G-force that can be tolerated by an athlete's head during impact on a playing surface, measured by a device called a Triaxial accelerometer. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with this specific threshold as set by the ASTM. This means that any impact with a Gmax level above 200 is considered potentially unsafe for athletes. Therefore, it is important for sports facilities to regularly test and maintain their playing surfaces to ensure they meet this safety standard.
