Lightbulb the colored mat

I have in my car in the back of the van. A friend of mine put hers
in her basement to cut the hard and cold feelings from the cement floor (they have a sofa and other furniture there as a spare room). The colored mat is made from the same material as door mats. It was quite large, so I gave 1/2 to my son for his car because he transports musical instruments to his band practice.
They cushion the ride.

The exercise mat is in the kitchen. It gets wet.

I don't think these mats are thick enough to cushion a real fall. They might
prevent a road rash injury, but I don't think a tendon pull, or bone break can be prevented with a mat. After all people break ribs and wrists just bowling,
or lifting something heavy, if osteoporosis is there.

My mats reduce strain, very well, however on a daily basis.
