Answer:
Explanation:
Athletes in pole jump events fall on cushioned surface and not on floor because this increases the time of the athlete's fall on the surface and to lower the changes of momentum the athletes face after making the jump.
It decreases the rate of changing momentum and therefore the force lessens and the athlete does not get injured.

Answer:
They always land on the floor.
Explanation:
It is because when an athelete falls from a height of 4-5m to the floor, due to their speed and gravity their bones would break and cause severe injuries to the athlete. It is why they use landing beds on pole vault.
