Description reads: Only the brave shall pass

No weight, no value, no associated inventory bitmap. What does this object do?

Did you pick it up from the stash by the lightning anomaly in Forest? It should add an entry in your PDA, a map of a special anomaly located in the Countryside map.

SPOILER WARNING

Aye I got it. Using the noclip mode - first time I resorted to cheating in LA, but I find that segment poorly designed.

1) Tried jumping from trees. Got myself stuck on girders.

2) Found the "platform". Spent 2 hours mapping it's size and jumping in every conceivable direction

3) Found the trampoline anomalies, some of them anyway. Insufficient lift

4) Best results achieved using car as ballistic missile, propelled using nearby vortex (which has a chance to fling you randomly in the right direction - trampolines too weak) and wallhugging

Invisible platforms are annoying.. Combine them with the detector beeping for guidance and it'd be okay. Make the platform opaque to projectiles or at least bolts so I don't have to use my body as a probe - okay...

Otherwise, a player is left with suicide scanning, meaning:

1) Pick a heading 5 degrees to the right of the last one
2) Jump
3) Die
4) Reload
5) Force-close application
6) Restart game
7) Reload game
8) Go back to 1

Bad design or I'm stupid and I missed something.

Yeah I had pretty much the same experience. I resorted to using the noclip cheat, because such trial-and-error gameplay simply isn't enjoyable.
