Race tracks present an extremely complex safety challenge. They need a barrier system that minimizes damage to drivers and vehicles moving at high speeds, but is also affordable to install and quick to repair, so events are not unduly delayed. Tracks also need a barrier system that is strong enough to withstand hard hits, but malleable enough to give, move and dissipate g-force energy to mitigate impact. Ideally, the barrier system should be able to conform to any track design, while also offering color-coordinated branding and the option to display advertising banners or directional signage. Tough criteria, but a solution does exist.ISS PROLINK BARRIERS - A Better Safety Barrier Solution.Impact Safety Systems (ISS) ProLink Barriers were developed based on the same energy absorbing FEA approved technology as its KISS barriers. In-depth safety testing and collision-impact research was conducted to establish the original barrier design dynamics, determine thickness of material and strongest surface type. Since applying this approach to ProLink Barriers, the system's ability to dissipate impact forces has been tested and proven time and again in live scenarios at racetracks and motorcycle test tracks around the globe.Perhaps the most valuable proof of performance any barrier manufacturer can offer is customer satisfaction. To date, every ProLink track customer has reported high-speed hits resulting in minimal barrier deformation, very little damage to vehicles and, uppermost, drivers walked away unharmed.Watch this demonstration video to see how our energy absorption technology works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAGVDNuv8yk&feature=youtu.be
