I agree for the wooden or steel boxes. They make padded boxes for box jumps and those are far safer

Our gym has a padded and weighted box. That thing is difficult to just push let alone tip over.

I've still seen people bust their shit on the padded ones, it's just not the best exercise for the vast majority of people. I can't remember what they're called but there's a machine where you lay on your back and jump that serves a similar purpose, at least for normal gym goers.

Literally only seen one of those at physical therapy. Idk what kind of gym would have one. I hit the top on my test jump. Scared the shit out of me.

My gym has two but I will say my gym is attached to a rehab facility so that could explain it.

I've never heard of a gym connected to a rehab facility like that. Honestly, it's a really cool idea on managing costs to give both access to more equipment.

I purposely picked it because the age of the gym goers skews older, after one too many bad incidents lifting at "bro gyms" I decided that I can spend a bit extra and go to a more health focused gym.

That's some next level gym strategy. I just go at 4am when I know nobody will be there.
