A load pad for distributing a load, the load pad comprising:
- a top apparatus formed of an elastomer with a substantially flat upper surface and a bottom surface with a series of top apparatus engagement features, the top apparatus engagement features comprising a concave portion;
- a center apparatus configured to removably connect to a bottom surface of the top apparatus via a series of center apparatus engagement features, the center apparatus engagement features comprising a protrusion that is configured to fit-within the concave portion;
- and
- a bottom apparatus formed of an elastomer and connected to the center apparatus, wherein the center apparatus is formed of a material that has a higher rigidity than the top apparatus and the bottom apparatus.
