I would think that you want the bars to shear at some point so they slow the crashing vehicle down enough so the passenger compartment doesn't end up under the trailer. Hitting a solid end of a trailer at freeway speeds is still going to end up as a fatality but if the bar acts as a crash cushion then the drivers in the crashing vehicle may survive.

Gorilla Salad posted:We had an incident many years ago in Australia where a drugged up piece of poo poo footballer got kicked out of a nightclub one night and drove drunk and drugged along the road at insane speeds until he went right up the back of a truck and had his head taken off. My mom's best friend in grade school ended up traumatized from this kind of thing. The victim in this case drove under a semi from the side, which knocked his head off and landed it directly on her windshield. His head was jammed in the gap with the windshield wipers, staring at her. The EMTs found her screaming in her car parked on the side of the road. They had to beat her hands to get her out because she was frozen gripping the steering wheel.

xergm posted:Did you not watch the video? They were specifically pointing out how federal standards regulating those bars aren't strict enough. The structural failure isn't completely due to flimsy ICC bars either. In the United States you have an 80,000 lb limit for vehicle and freight (depending on axles), so every extra pound in your trailer's empty weight is a pound of lost freight revenue, by cutting out as much of the frame and wall weight as possible you while still having just enough metal to tack a bar on (don't forget the reflector tape either!) you are making a more desirable product for carriers to buy for their fleets. No carrier is going to buy a trailer with excessive crash protection for other vehicles, their only concern is longevity of the driver and equipment, and cubic feet of freight per ton of vehicle.

Mithaldu posted:Why was that guy trying to tame a CAT on the race track? Not sure if this is just a joke, but a couple of laps earlier another car had spun off on the same corner and hit the crash barriers. The driver was fine but the officials were removing the wreckage of his car because - ironically - it posed a hazard to any other driver who lost control on that corner. From the video it looks as though Bianchi's face took the full impact, and I'm amazed there was anything left to keep on life support for a year. Humphreys posted:Wow, is that really a thing? I knew girdling/ring-barking with trees will kill off anything above the wound! Now I have a new thing to worry about at work. Watched a guy get his finger de-gloved on a highwire course in basic training back when I was younger and I thought that would be the worst. But slowly killing off the flesh? Nope.jpg Yep, burns can swell up fast. The swelling can cut off the blood circulation, which is why you should always go immediately to hospital if you have a burn that goes all the way around a digit or a limb, no matter how minor you think the burn is. And then the doctors will literally slit your burned skin open to allow the tissues to expand.

If you have a samsung washing machine, you could have a BOMB! in your house. Samsung, CPSC Recalling 2.8 Million Top-Loading Washing Machines Due to Risk of Explosion “We’re talking about ... a very serious hazard of the top of these washing machines completely blowing off,” Elliot Kaye, the chairman of the CPSC, told “GMA” Investigates in an interview that aired Friday on “GMA.” “It is a lot of reports.” Kaye said the tops of the affected units weren’t “secured enough based on a design failure. And the top just completely blows off.” The recall affects 34 of Samsung's top-loading models that were sold from March 2011 to November 2016. http://abcnews.go.com/US/samsung-cpsc-recalling-28-million-top-loading-washing/story?id=43291726 Video inside showing WASHING MACHINE CARNAGE.

I'll have to badger him for stories and pics because holy poo poo some people really deserve to have their mangled carcass tossed on the side of the road to get eaten by coyotes so something good came of their existence.

If you hit this sign don't go. there's a 12 foot tunnel in Alabama where they had chains hanging from the warning sign, and they got 5 trucks stuck in 2 months. so they put PVC pipe over the chains and wrapped it with reflective tape, and also added a height detector that sets off red flashing lights and a siren and changes the sign on the tunnel entrance to say STOP DO NOT ENTER, and trucks still ignore all that and get stuck.
