I personally strap them to the roof of my car but ensure they are in a waterproof bag or tube to prevent them form getting wet and/or damaged.
Pole Vault Poles used to made out of materials such as wood, metal and bamboo. Pole Vault Poles are now made out of bendable materials such as Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber
Girls can pole vault. There are smaller poles for novice girls but as they progress girls can use even 14 feet poles.
Yes pole vault poles do break. They can be spiked which takes away there structural integrity or be overloaded by the vaulter if the pole is too small. The poles will then break.

Most pole vault poles are fiberglass, yes. Some can be made of carbon fiber, which allows them to bend differently.
Pole vault
There is an adjustable pole that is suspended horizontally between two upright poles. The horizontal pole rests on pegs so that if the vaulter hits the pole it will fall off.

Yes they do! They own their own poles so they have to ship them to the Olympic stadium.
I believe they supply them themselves and can have up to around 3 poles each.
In "olden" days, poles might have been made out of aluminum, which is pretty much the same material as the bar that vaulters try to vault over. However, nowadays vaulters use poles made of fiber-glass, which is much lighter and more flexible. Pole lengths may vary, but the minimum is usually (unofficially) around 12ft. and the max depends on the height you are attempting to vault over.
