DSM material innovation improves bobsleigh stability

Bobsleigher Ilse Broeders: “‘Smart blocks’ a good step on the road to success in Turin” 
The bobsleighs to be used by the Dutch Olympic Team at the Olympic Games in Turin contain special DSM vibration dampers that make the bobsleigh more stable. This reduces the risk of steering errors and means that better times can be achieved. The vibration dampers reduce the number of vibrations in the bobsleigh runners to 40% compared with the dampers traditionally used for bobsleighs.
