Скачать или смотреть Breakaway Rim Demonstration — Toss-Back’s Safety Innovation After Darryl Dawkins’ Backboard Breaks

This video features a detailed demonstration of the Toss-Back breakaway basketball rim, created in response to the powerful dunks of players like Darryl Dawkins, whose high-force slams shattered traditional backboards. The clip shows how the rim flexes under extreme pressure, how the safety mechanism releases at approximately 230 pounds, and how it instantly returns to playing position without damaging the backboard.

The demonstration explains the engineering behind the rim’s internal spring system, the metal dogs that lock and release the rim, and the improvements demanded by the NBA — including safer net attachments and the removal of external bracing to prevent hand and finger injuries.

Designed not to change the nature of the game but to protect players and equipment, the breakaway rim revolutionized basketball safety and became standard across the NBA, NCAA, and gyms nationwide.
