Pole vaultingWired
•75% Informative
There have been dozens of injuries in pole vaulting, even at the Olympic level.
There are currently no regulations that mandate what materials are used to make the poles .
Modern poles are typically formed with layers of fiberglass and carbon-fiber composites.
They have to be strong enough to hold a person’s weight, and light enough to be held while running.
Swiss company CompPair focuses on composites with the goal of making products more repairable.
When something gets scratched or dinged, heating up the resins that hold fibers together could soften them and let them slowly seep back into shape.
The process isn't instant. Depending on the break it can take minutes , or sometimes a day or more, the compound should be reset to almost as good as new.
