Barrel jumping is a discipline of speed skating, where ice skaters build up speed to jump over a length of multiple barrels lined up, usually side by side like rollers.[2][3] Occasionally barrels would also be stacked pyramid-style for height. The objective is to jump over the most barrels without landing on the barrels. At the far end, the skaters need not land on their skates. Most jumpers would wear helmets and padding on their posterior to cushion the landing on the ice. At the end of the ice was a padded bumper.
A standard barrel is made of a fiber composition material and 16 inches in diameter.
