I honestly don’t know, but I’m sure it’s something soft and cushy. Probably not a trampoline or they’d fly back up through the stage (although that would be hilarious! lol).

If the drop zone light stops on the trapdoor on which the affected player is standing, that trap door opens and drops the player three feet (six feet in season one) into a room below the set, with thick padding. Contestants are instructed to crouch down and roll when landing so their heads do not remain above the hole. Only one injury has been reported, a sprained ankle; nevertheless contestants are required to sign lengthy waivers and release forms.
