I can understand not wanting to trust the mat, but in my case they were all fine. I always did a little 'test inspection' with my feet to see that they were working fine. I also always used to check the human player indicators (red and blue lights on an electronics box at the game desk/checkmarks on the screen) to make sure the pads were responsive. In addition, I knew exactly how to step on one (all your weight on one foot on one corner is enough), because I took the whole assembly apart at West Michigan once. In our team's case, we actually had a problem with what we thought was a blank program going berserk, so we decided the safest thing to do was have me jump on at 12 seconds. This also took some weight off my shoulders.
