Each year thousands of people are attacked whilst at Night Clubs and Pubs. Fatalistic one punch attacks can leave people paralysed or can even result in death. However most of the injuries sustained from these attacks come from the victims head hitting the cement outside the Club or Pub. Wet Pour Rubber is an innovative, affordable and environmentally friendly solution to this problem. It is the material that can be seen on the floor of playgrounds and helps to protect the body from serious harm. Sign this petition to get Wet Pour Rubber installed around pubs and save thousands of lives!

I have spent this week reading through the stories you all have left in the comments and the pain people have endured is heartbreaking. Knowing that a simple change in flooring could prevent another family from suffering this same tragedy keeps me determined to see this through.

Seeing this level of support brings back memories of my own close call and reminds me why I started this. The momentum behind our demand for safer surfaces is incredibly heartening. We are finally starting a serious conversation about preventing these life-altering injuries.

It seems a great idea and well within the realms of economic and practical feasibility.Does the data concerning the location of these cowardly acts of violence prove that most of these injuries do occur so close to these venues?

Good idea. Also limit the amount of alcohol that can be served to an individual

Seen way too many fights outside the local bars lately. Falling on concrete is no joke. Hope this actually happens.
