Airfence Safety Systems is the
trading name for Airfence products, owned by
Harim Industrial Co, Seoul Korea. The
Airfence business is based in Australia. It
is committed to providing the highest
quality, affordable and practical safety
systems for motor (and other) sports,
particularly motorcycle racing. We supply Federation De Motocycliste homologated/licenced soft wall, impact absorbing barriers.
Since our first barriers were released in 1991 we have
been striving to improve our products, range of products and to
better serve our customers.
We develop, manufacture and sell our own safety systems. They
are designed to absorb impact and safely decelerate riders, drivers
and other sports people, protecting them from impact with solid
objects. Our systems apply modern materials and technologies to
the safety of sporting venues.
That is why we have developed
our own testing facility to test our safety systems more fully. Because Airfence products are tested so thoroughly, they have saved numerous lives as well
as unknown numbers of injuries. They have been developed to ensure
that the maximum energy of the impact is absorbed by the barrier
and that "spikes" of deceleration, which are so injurious to riders,
are eliminated.
Ongoing development has been our priority to ensure that
all the impact absorbing features have been retained and improved.
Refinements have been added, making Airfence more practical and
user friendly as well as addressing potential problems such as
riders sliding underneath it. So now Airfence is standard fare
at premier motorcycling events around the world.
Not only for motorcyclists any more! Airfence is continually
looking for other sporting applications for its products and
so we now see them used at cycling, karting and skiing events
too.
Airfence maintains the excitement of sport. Excitement
and perceived danger are inexorably linked. We don't want to sterilize
our sport with endless run-offs and removal of spectators from
the action. So let's keep and increase the spectacle of roadracing
while providing the best safety standards possible.
Tyre walls, straw
bales and foam blocks don't work to absorb impacts of human bodies.
They also look shabby, whether or not wrapped in a plastic bag. Give
your track the presentation that will attract riders spectators,
the media and advertisers. Our sport needs managers who look to
the future and see the gains from maximizing the safety of the
racing environment. Whether on a ride day or in a GP, the track
has to be the safe alternative for riding fast. Is the next TV
coverage of your event going to hone in on some tragedy that could
perhaps been avoided? Are we really counting the cost of such
publicity?
We are all only too aware of our duty of care. When increased
safety is clearly available for dangerous locations, anyone who
ignores that is in a vulnerable position. "Is the life of an international
rider worthy of higher levels of safety than other competitors
of yours?" Don't let this question be asked of you in court!
With Airfence now having representation in Europe, we can assist you at every stage of your safety upgrade. Contact your local Airfence support.
