Those look like the guardrails that were not made correctly. They are supposed to peel off from the posts, but not go through the cars, like these did.
right! I was just looking at an infographic in a magazine crediting John Fitch with creating guard rails for safety... I thought I had posted, but it seems I haven't gotten to that yet, so many things distract me and keep me from catching up on posting the stuff I find in magazines
I read somewhere that the outfit that makes most of the guardrails made a small change to a bolt in the tapered end of the guardrail. Saved them a couple of bucks and the part no longer functions as it should allowing the rail to come off and impale cars. Lawsuits pending.
