Abstract
An apparatus and method for agitating and rearranging a grouping of individual cushioning articles in an enclosed container are disclosed. The method and device may protect and individual from an injury resulting from landing in the enclosed container when the individual cushioning articles are overly compressed and lack appropriate spacing in order to absorb the kinetic energy of an individual landing in the enclosed container. The apparatus may include an air actuated inflatable bladder with inflatable extensions that may be utilized to lift and/or separate the cushioning articles, thus allowing the cushioning articles to be repositioned in a random, non-uniform, fashion. Additionally, the repositioned cushioning articles may have additional air space introduced between the individual cushioning devices, thereby allowing the cushioning device to absorb the kinetic energy and an individual without inducing as large an impact force, and providing a more compressive landing zone free of compacted and lodged pieces.
