One company based in Korea developed a potentially revolutionary product called the Rolling Barrier System. This product aims to reduce the brutal impacts of guardrails that might save millions of lives. Every year, around 1.25 million people worldwide die in a traffic crash. In order to prevent cars from going off the road, firm metal bars also known as guardrails are installed along the edges of roads. However, while guardrails can deflect a car back to the road or slow the car down, it can`t save the driver in every situation. The speed and size of the car can affect the performance of the guardrail.
The traditional guardrails made of steel plates can`t guarantee the safety of the driver. The Rolling Barrier System on the other hand, promises much more. The Rolling Barrier System can do more than just simply absorb impact energy. When a car hits the rolling barriers, the impact energy is converted into rotational energy in order to propel the car forward instead of potentially breaking through something like an immovable barrier.
The rolling barriers have a rotating barrel with amazing shock absorption power. It also features dense props that are supporting the three-dimensional buffering frames. These rotating barrels also have reflective sheeting that provides good visibility. The entire system is made of EVA a material with great elasticity and flexibility compared to all other polyethylene resins. It has similar characteristics to rubber. It even has more elasticity than urethane and it is lighter than rubber. In short, it is not easily damaged.
Finally, when there is no barrier around, here is how to prevent accidents by knowing how!
This rolling barrier system could save Millions of Lives.
