The replays shown are crazy, this clip will make you think twice about hitting poles, if your a pole hitting person.

Great.... so, If you accidentally hit one of these things, you're completely screwed, but at least the pole will be fine.

 

Nice to see human life coming second place to the cost of replacing a freaking bollard.

atleast if you open up a business tho you know what to invest your money into. have that set up around the perimeter and you can sleep at night knowing no one will ramraid your shop

Or buy four of them and mount them UNDER your business and you can elevate them at night so the whole building is a metre off the ground... Tee hee....

holy crap

yeh me and a few mates were saying to put a faster acting hydraulic ram beneath it, so when a car drives by you turn it on so it shoots up, all the person see's is there motor come out through the bonnet

if there was a driver in that mess the dental records would need to come out.car comes along a 60 mph towards your shop, bolard pops up, car hits bolard,car gets minced, bolard goes down, cops show up wtf did he hit :y:

LOL saw that on fox a few weeks ago, made one big mess for sure

Isn't it to stop terrorists?

Dirka dirka jihad gerka only :y: if he's in a truck ,beware swarthy moped riders with back packs :D

^^^^ apparently so

Jack Bower is going to use them in the next 24...

 

What a waste of a truck, didn't they think about the homeless people befroe they did it?

Ahahaha ,our locals sleep in cardboard boxes ,reckon they would sell the truck a buy vino & glue or try a ram raid and end up with a truck like the one in the video in the end

Works for me

they should set up an obsticle course with them, similar to those water fountain things you see in vegas that shoot up in certain patterns on a giant square grid. just keep driving and hope the part your driving over wont be the ones that pop up.

 

That truck may have failed the test miserably, they need to perform one under australian standars: Traffic Pole Vs Kingswood

 

i think id put my money on the kingswood coming out on this one. :y:
