Speed Skating protection system

Article: AVIM1004

Made in: EU

Material: Top: PVC

Mat core: The viscoelastic foam comes back to the original shape even after heavy and long term pression and assures a good shock absorbation. The foam, with its completely open cells, assures an excellent speed of air escaping.

The Speed Skating mats are not having a rectangular shape. The bottom width is 80 cm, the height is 100cm (can be increased to 120cm if needed) and the top width is 40 cm. This solution allows to have a perfect viewing angle for the spectators all around the track.

The mats are fixed on the ground to avoid athletes passing underneath which can result in dangerous injuries.
At the moment the atlete hits the mat air will extrude through a net placed at the higher part of the mat.
Based on technical details and exact drawings of the ice rink a certain number of poles will be fixed on the concrete surface as well as a certain number of poles to allow the entry and exit of the skaters and the ice resurfacing machines. The area around the track should be free of obstacles in a range of 1 meter to allow the padding to move to the outside of the ice surface.
Additional poles will allow entry and exit form the outside. Special low mats at the finishing lines are placed for correct photofinish and timing equipment data collection.
