It was somewhat counter intuitive as I recall, then they went into the physics
of the situation. The end result was that going 60 mph into an immovable
object really did the same amount of damage as going 60 into a car coming at
you at 60. So the whole damage equivalent to going 120 was a myth.

There would be the difference between colliding with an "almost" immovable
object (wall) versus colliding with a vehicle that has some semblance of a
crush zone. I don't know how much that difference would be.

Yes I would rather have a collision with another car at the difference in
speed than the combined speed of the two….

Huh….never heard them called Jersey Barriers before.
Apparently the slope on the bottom is to make your tires ride up so you
redirect back into your own lane (though possibly flipped over) whereas a flat
wall might make you flip into the oncoming lane.
Fun stuff.

Yeah, sonotube filled with a rebar cage. Make a picket fence of them.
Cheaper than a cutover to a new building. I have 576 strands feeding this
shelter. Or maybe I beam hammered in with a pile driver.

I'm sure you could design some bollards that wouldn't allow a tractor
trailer through your fence 😁

I think we are going to install a larger shelter, farther away from
the I-80 ROW fence. Second crash right there. First to come through the
fence. Car landed on our back up generator after wiping out our fiber splicing
trailer, dump trailer and really nice powered reel trailer.
Hope the kid had insurance. No seat belt. Head wound but apparently
no broken bones.
