Testing of impact-resistant walls and inbuilt units
Good news for all those who want to put up impact-resistant walls and other
units (doors, gates, central control room windows etc.) in sports halls and
test the protective function of the same. In the past force reduction could
be tested on the lying object only (see photo).

Force reduction tested on a glass element using the "Artificial Athlete
95"
Once put
up (vertical position) it has so far been impossible to test the force
reduction at site (as it has long been practice with sports floors, for
example) because of the lack of suitable testing equipment. We have
developed an artificial athlete that is capable of measuring the force
reduction in vertical position, too.For the artificial athlete exist patent
and registered design protection.
