Detailed Solution

Athletes are made to fall on a cushioned bed in high jump athletic events to decrease the force.
The power that works in the shortest period is called the fastest power. When the athlete falls on a cushioned bed, it increases the time of the athlete's fall to stop after making the high jump. This decreases the rate of change of momentum, resulting in decreased force exerting on the athlete, reducing any chances of injury.
