  • Chuck Norris drives though those every day

  • Canberra represent@!

  • they have these on the military base in yuma, when that alarm sounds u better fucking stop. they like to test them randomly..

  • go through the fucking booth hahaha

  • Load the back of the vehicle so it's heavy, increase speed to 75 and it will get through.

  • @001looker I bet it won't get far.

  • These would be great for level crossings. If the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway had them installed back in 2003 that driver would not have been killed by a careless bloody female!

  • i need one of these inserted in my forehead.

  • I want this in my driveway....

  • Russel offices and that shit hole parliment house.Thanx for the deep trauma memories.Canberra shithole.

  • a motorcycle could kinda drive around them if the driver is willing to risk some hot knee-on-bollard action, which i for one would not be willing to risk. those look like they're set pretty close to each other.

  • 0:32 IN THE FUCKING EYES

  • yeah, lets kill people with bollards!

  • what happened to the driver ? :)

  • it is impressive what happens to the last truck.. some big part (motor? gear? battery?) left the vehicle straightaway. But the vehicle itself had been successfully

    stopped.

  • Bollard TEST passed. The bollards withstood the intrusion attempt.

  • They put them in to regulate bus traffic in Texas.

    But the law says buses and motorcycles.

    They are hydraulic pistons powered by an electric pump and tank, tank not full? they do not go all the way up.

    Rains hard enough for standing water and they go down very slow.

    But, due to malfunctions, people have been killed, so they are now a no go.

    Anyhow, cut the power or hydraulic line the power pack looks like a gate controller and you can hear it when they go up, and you have it.

  • can this thing stop an airplane?

  • "Stop brutal attacks!" Shows a truck being brutally attacked by a pole coming up from the ground.

  • I'll get the brush................

  • Whos gonna clean tht up O.o

  • Or what about a nutter terrorist on a pogo stick with a back pack?

  • Motorbike people: The point of the bollards is to prevent giant trucks filled with explosives from getting too close or people ramming into doors with their cars. There's only so much damage a person on a motorcycle can do, and you can mitigate that risk through other means (gate arms, armed security, etc.). Theoretically, you could also position the bollards more closely together (stack six or seven of them across the road instead of just three) to prevent motorcycles getting through.

  • @lekoman Nice idea, but they can't be stacked closer together. The reason that they work so well, is because they are essentially the tip of the iceberg, You only see a little bit above ground, while underground sits a massive counter balance. When the truck hit's the pole, the balance underground attempts to push the ground out of the way. The ground doesn't move, so the truck comes to a stop.

  • @elfwall That's a fair point. Thinking about it in that light, though, I have to figure you could stand to make the ballast underneath each one smaller if you connected all of them together underground, or just made them narrower but deeper, or both. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of it like that, and it likely comes down to cost vs. benefit, so y'know, whatever... but I'm just sayin'. ;)

  • @lekoman There's most likely an easier way. Modify one of the standard drop gates. One that just has a single bar going across, that needs to be lifted in order for a car to pass. Place it slightly behind the bollards, and make it out of a steel beam rather then a wooden 2x4. Adjust the counterweight to compensate for the extra weight of the beam, and have the far end rest into a reinforced saddle. A motorbike that runs between the bollards hits the metal beam... placed at neck height.

  • @elfwall LOL! I like it. Let's call that the plan. :D

  • Load the back fully to make it as heavy as possible. It will go through that with no problem.

  • Retarded system to destroy cars and avoid ambulance or fire truck enter into area where they are needed.

  • @MikkoMuhis they retract for vehicles with clearance

  • Make "crushable bollards" that would stop the vehicle and cause only minor injury at most to its occupants. After all, what if there are passengers?

    June 8, 2011 1:52 am

  • @whattheheck1000

    They are placed in areas where people aren't supposed to be going fast in the first place. You're supposed to stop before passing them. People who do get into accidents are idiots trying to cut before they come up again.

  • Yes, these stop vehicles, but cost a fortune to install and even more to repair or replace, especially after an incident with a vehicle.

  • @stewartx5 actually most of them don't suffer any significant damage when a truck hits them full speed. And when it happens, that they have to stop a car/Truck they have instantly payed themselves.

  • what happens to the drive inside the vehicle? :s seems kind of lethal

  • @XoxoSmashxOxo it doesn't matter what happens to him. Those things are to save other peoples live from that driver. And its not like they are placed randomly across the roads....

  • Oh, bollards.

  • For all those bagging America, just thought i'd let you know that at least one of these clips is from Australia. At 1.02 that is an EA - ED falcon wagon.

  • won't stop motorbikes....

  • wouldnt it just be cheaper to dig a mote and get a few alligators?

  • @smellmyfartgas Suck my shart juice. ;-D

  • @shartasticful fuckin funny dude

  • I'd like to see a bollard stop a bike...

  • I worked at a place where they use these thing.. They more often break down, than work properly. Piece of crap equipement if you tell me, and completely useless. Just buy the same pole, that you can pick up, and place in manually, yes, it is manual labour, but MUCH better then the gass pressured 1 time a week breaking down pieces of crap.

  • @bananenhangmat By that logic, because my car is an old piece of shit that breaks down all the time, everyone should throw away cars and start walking, hey it's slower, but at least walking doesn't break down. Idiot.

  • @brad1441 By that logic, now you're just commenting to bitch.. Your comment hits neither rock or wall. If you want to place a valid response I might take the time to seriously answer it. But clearly you are the idiot here.. Because since when, is a car in any way, the same as a gas pressured bollard? Cars drive, move forward, bollards are STATIONAIRY! They dont MOVE! Go EDUCATE yourself. Go back to SCHOOL! Because obviously you are the only IDIOT here!

    Hurts doesnt it, to have a low IQ? Ouch!

  • @bananenhangmat If you get your father to help you read my post so that you can understand it you will see that i am not trying to make any inference that a car is similar to a bollard. I am simply disagreeing with your notion that anything automatic that breaks down should be replaced by a manual system. The world is full of manyr types of powered devises, and guess what they all break down sometimes. If everyones answer was to replace them with manual systems we would be in the dark ages.

  • what about tanks?

  • These things suck

  • its useless up to some point, since if youre truly motivated, your associate just get down the truck, point a gun at the gard, and he opens the gate for you :/

  • But can it slice tomatoes after it stops a vehicle?

  • they should put those in front of traffic signs every time there is red light those things would pop out from the ground and stay there, when the light would turn green those things would go down and let the traffic go.

  • Oh hey mechanized dragon's teeth, it only a hundred fucking years

  • aim for the booth?

  • Hmmmmm ... if these bollards are intended for use at US facilities, why are the only ones in operation shown in this video located in Canberra, the capital of Australia? See the building with the flag on top? That's the national parliament building ! Mind you, a guy in a Pajero DID drive into the Great Hall a few years ago, so you'll excuse the pollies for being a tad cautious. He wasn't a terrorist though, just a nutter.

  • ok... it can stop a 15.000 lb truck ... but it can't stop a motorcycle...

  • @stabilini Yes because you often see ram raiders on motorcycles hmmm

  • @stabilini Someone on a motorbike can be shot and killed. The end. No more threat from the silly unprotected man on a bike.

  • @stabilini A motorbike can't do anything like as much damage, either by straight ramming or considering possible bomb size.

  • @m0ffx Er duh, he is referring to the fact a motorbike could drive round them...

  • well... they didn't stop the white van nor the gray car...

  • epic fail for that dumb truck driver

  • i like chicken raps

  • a wild bollard appears!

  • Viewing the detail recording in slowmo, I must confess that the vehicle is being stopped but, by the brute force of physics, its engine would literally 'shoot' some tens of meters behind the defense barriers and therefore this device is a dangerous 'bullet' insofar.

  • @berndpfe would you rather have a truck part hitting your property, or an entire moving vehicle.

  • Make the back heavy and you will see different result.

  • Truck didn't look malicious to me... Didn't even have any one driving it...

  • For sale: One flat-deck truck. Needs work.

  • It would be best to not over use these .

    They'd be perfect for a high security military installation or near the reactors and waste storage facilities at a nuclear power plant.

    But places such as banks or local office government buildings it's an unnecessary cost and the accidents they'd cause would far out weigh their security value esp considering they won't see regular maintenance in those applications.

  • There is small problem with, their is no real weight on the back of the truck, put some real weight on the back and let see how it does.

  • The fact that they still operate after such an impact may not seem important but it is.

    Impressive.

  • I am getting some for my driveway! =D

  • Nothing like a little fear to sell product, eh? :*(

  • just drive through the gate house

  • Freakin Awesome! Not often but we recently had an issue at MacDill Airforce Base in Tampa.

  • i want some of them out side my house so no fucker can park in our space although theres a massive tesco carpark across the road

  • 1:10-1:30 "Total perimeter Defense" Even your bollards will have bollards! They got a little carried away.lol

  • Mine are retractable as well.. oh it's bollards? Thought you said bollocks. oh well.

  • its an american video though they're showing places in canberra australia like the parliment house and other government buildings. strange.

  • didn't stop the aeroplanes though did they?

  • Thank god these were invented!

    Normal concrete barriers are SO boring and bland...

  • These are the world's fastest auto retracting bollards. They are powered by compressed air and in some installations can rise in 4/10 second.

  • hi, i am from Serbia in Europe, and i have never seen this kind of stuff... but my personal opinion is that these bollards or what ever is the name, can produce much more damage than good things..i dont know but that is mine opinion just.

  • 'Brutal Attacks'

    lol

  • The question is: "What happens to the driver?"

    The truck certainly was not in good condition after hitting the bollard so I doubt that there is a high survival rate if someone DOES hit it.

    Which is fair and fine if it is a terrorist, one less to bomb our homes and kill our troops.

    What if it is someone with a stuck accelerator pedal? Cut brakes? Some other fault of many which could cause this?

    Does the security of your premises really justify the death of an innocent?

  • Complete, Truck, Rape....

  • Imagine a 15,001lb truck heading towards your facility... run...

  • What if the "Brutal attack" was from someone on a motorbike then?

  • poor poor truck

  • @litemoth SSsshhh you'll give the haters ideas!!

  • it will go between the bollards?

  • @litemoth

    Whats the biggest bomb payload a motorbike can carry, really?!?

  • @flurry about 400lbs on a modern cruiser or enough to demolish a four bedroom home.

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    Be serious. You bottom out the springs in a family hatch with that much weight in the back. You're lucky to limp a 50 lb bag in a bike while trying not to fall over!

    Also, you actually think that the bollards were the be-all-end-all of a high security setting? They're just there to stop heavy payload, the wimpy stuff (bikes and pedestrians) is effectively halted with a conventional gate.

    Sad thing is that 14 shrugging no-brainers voted thumbs up without even thinking.

  • @flurry The Suzuki 1250 Bandit has a maximum permissable payload (after factoring in fuel and lubricants of 225kg, that is almost 500lbs. Think about it, a cruiser with two fat people and their luggage is easily going to get up to 400lbs. You make a good point about the gates, maybe mortars are the best way to deal with with this.

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    Yes! You CAN carry "almost 500" on a Suzuki Bandit 1250, provided the following:

    1. You can manage to start and operate the bike in the "dry" (i.e. no fuel, engine oil, brake fluids, coolant or gear oil)

    2. You, the driver, weight exactly 0 pounds. Yes, zero.

    Suzuki Bandit 1250 (factory data):

    GVWR = 1048 lbs - 504 lbs "dry" weight

    - 60 lbs of fluids

    - 220 driver with clothes, boots, helmet and gear

    = 260 lbs of maximum available "payload" ...IF you can drive with it!

  • @flurry how about a Goldwing with a trailer then? Plus, I forgot to mention I am an etherial being from another planet who actually makes the bike weight less when I ride it.

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    Please post a video of a single terrorist incident with a bike involved. A heavy, expensive, showoff bike that is. And one that is succesfull at blowing up anything else besides the very bike and its own driver! ha ha ha!

  • @flurry I can't do that because pakis and sand niggers cant afford cruisers, there are plenty of videos on youtube of suicide bomber using motorcycles very effectively.

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    You yourself defeated your own impossible scenario then. I have nothing more to add.

  • @flurry after dealing with you i may very well put some research into finding where you live and riding a bike into you and your family

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    I already said to you, you blind wannabe terrorist: I have nothing more to add to your moronic comments.

  • @flurry not sure where you got the blind bit from. Anyway, if that were truely the case, you wouldn't have replied!

  • @chunkyfecalbreakfast

    You're blinded with absurd stubbornes to force and prove your impossible scenarios that even you defeat in a hertbeat.

    Why not try a shot at politics? You seem to detach yourself from reality and even your own stupid remarks with such instant ease. Double moron.

  • @flurry Actually, you're the only one who denied my arguement, I still see it as quite plausible. I am fully aware that you are the "politician", able to twist the words of others to their suit their own devices.

  • Comment removed

  • The one on your head?

  • to any one who is looking to buy bollards,please hire me as a henchmen,when the recession hit I lost my old hench job,and Ive been living in a tent,I am very skilled,

  • what if the hood hits my facility?

  • @charles5448 LMFAO

  • Just what ive been looking for...im sick of these brutal attacks on my gaff.

  • What if i put an atomic bomb on them????

  • what if im on a BULDOZER

  • i wish i had a FACILITY

  • lol

  • @bartlebybartleby

    And I wish I had some bollards... hmmm bollards :D

  • wat if i use a 50 tonne tank lol

  • they have these in the centre of manchester uk where i went to uni. theres some funny videos of people trying to follow buses through into the bus lane but they all get fucked up!

  • but if a building didnt have these bollards and was attacked then there would b alot of talk about how we werent prepared so i say that every government building needs them just incase

  • In America how often do 15000lb trucks drive into buildings?

    The company has clearly over engineered its product and is using fear to sell it, I will coin the phrase "terrormarketing" defined as "exploiting consumer fear to sell useless merchandise"

  • In America how often do people fly airplanes into buildings? Once is too often. There are places where it is important to keep them secure. High security bollards are certified by the Department of State because they recognize their is a need to be pro-active because if there are vehicles and people who want to hurt others, it can always happen.

  • 911 was a lucky strike, a combination of security incompetence and law order failure, it should have been stopped at the flight schools.

    The places that require security normally have a perimeter where trucks are not allowed, they also have security measures not advertised in videos.

    Vehicular entry points normally have tire immobilizers that are easily passable at low speed but puncture the tires if approached faster.

  • Amazing that you can give that entire summary, without mentioning Islam even once.

  • Why mention Islam? did the 19 hijacker have special powers by being Muslim? Would the attack have failed if they where not Muslim!!!

    Its a fact 911 could have been avoided by normal security measures including ICE databases identifying the guys who had out dated Visas.

  • @larryinla you can't stop planes with bollards. plus what if the guy was on a moped where he could fit through the bollards?

  • @larryinla well said.

  • @larryinla make that twice if you count both planes. three times if you count the plane into the pentagon. 3.5 if you count the plane that was supposed to hit the white house but was re-hijacked by the passengers. these things probably aren't that expensive compared to the value of the building/information inside them/people inside them/etc. why take a risk? also, having them there will deter any threats. they might serve their purpose without ever stopping a terrorist vehicle. nice vid :)

  • @larryinla how is a bollard going to stop a airplane?

  • @larryinla In America we don't have thousand foot tall bollards coming out of the ground to stop airplanes.

  • @larryinla well i dont think these bollards are gonna be enough to stop a plane

  • @larryinla Make a plane bollard ill buy it. Else imma keep using my missile defense system on my roof.

  • well big companies that have dangerous secrets to guard like military bases is worth the price like suicide bombers in iraqu in cars running toward military pot american military posts

  • The bollards don't work in Iraq, the sand will screw them up in hours. Till now there has never been a suicide truck attack in the US and if God forbid it ever happens the attackers will probably get around the visible security measures. The best way of stopping any attack is law enforcement doing their job and picking it up in planning.

  • oh like the sand would get between the sides of the shaft and get stuck , well i saw a tv report where a truck full of bomf crashen in a military base and they coudnt stop it

  • You are obviously clueless how much this stuff actually costs. It's not being installed by consumers who are down at the supermarket one day and are suddenly overcome by government engineered fear of terrorists.

  • So tell me Where exactly you want these deployed and why?

    Iraq is out of the question simply because the sand will chew up the innards but more importantly electricity is a precious commodity, (it is generated by diesel), placing a device that requires power would place a burden on base infrastructure and the last thing you need is a humvee full of injured soldiers blocked outside due to a bollard failure.

  • It is irrelevant to Iraq, where the job can be achieved just as easily by some 40 gallon drums filled with cement, erected in a chicane with a couple of GIs armed with machine guns standing in the entry.

    That approach doesn't work in nice cities however.

  • Airports, security gates at factories, banks, nuclear power plants, anywhere with a supply of electricity, and a high risk of vehicle-based attacks.

  • @xdir ugh, no. nothing has been done to remove an individuals right to choose what to buy or not. yeah sure there is fear of terrorism, but no one is forcing anyone to purchase these. and secondly, when is it a bad thing to "over engineer" something? German cars are that, in fact it seems america thought it could get away with crap engineering, cars as example... look what happened... foreign companies to a foothold. maybe you should be more appreciative of the word "quality."

  • Not to mention, this is just a 'demonstration' of the barrier's capability.

  • @xdir Gosh I lost count. All the frickin' time, man.

  • @xdir we use them in the military if some dumbass decides to run the gate. Obviously that's pretty important.

  • @xdir Retractable bollards are also good for preventing unauthorized vehicles for entering, say, a bus lane.

  • @xdir This is one place where I'd not term anything as excessive. It might not happen regularly, but once is too often, as @larryinla said. There's no scope for error here

  • @xdir This product is not buyed by simpletons..

    They make this barricades for VIP persons, safehouses, bordersafety and so on..

  • @xdir I think it would happen at Irak, Afghanistan, or elsewherekistan... As the greengos like to meddle their noses evrywhere and most people hates them, they sure* need this kind of security for their foreign facilities.

  • @xdir Hey genious - the Department of State is primarily located all over the world! And in case you forgot we had two embassies destroyed by vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) over in Africa

  • @asuwish0000 Do the bollards also stop trucks parking on public roads near the target buildings (as with Kenyan Embassy attacks), if so then your right we should invest in these miraculous bollards today!!!

    As i stated before, the only place these bollards are needed is Iraq & Afghanistan, but they are useless because neither place has reliable electricity and the sand/dust will quickly ruin the mechanics.

  • Lest just hope no one gets through the gate THEN rams the car in the building.

  • Put something like a reverse snow plough on the front, you know, like a *ramp* and drive slower. When it hits it breaks free and truck jumps.

  • Has no one considered the evil connotations of rising bollards? They rise from a strange pit that god knows what was magic it was blessed with to make them do that.

  • It's called hydraulics; that be compressed water and stuff.

    Hail Eris.

  • i wonder if this thing can stop a tank going at 50km/h

  • They should put these things in every crosswalk in the US. More people are killed by automobiles than by truck bombs.

  • Mate...they cant stop a plane.....

  • Don't mess with bollards! They will pwn you every time...

  • :) Just a quick not for boltar2003. These are U.S. Department of State crash test videos performed to very strict standards. So yes, this truck definitely has an engine block. Though the concept of a bollard is simple there is a lot physics involved and one of the most important is in how the bollards are installed in the ground. The support that you can't see is a very important aspect of its protective value.

  • @larryinla thanks for the vid! Very cool

  • Theres no engine in that truck. Probably because a 1 ton lump of solid iron moving at 50mph might have an effect on the bollards that these guys don't want you to see.

  • Don't break my friggin bollards

  • now if they only put the same material from these into vehicles

  • Finally, a twelve thousand pound Smart!

  • best idea ever..

  • wont stop a suicide bomber on a motorbike though will they lol !

  • Lol yeah nice thinking xD

  • Yes...the only thing this couldnt stop is a motorcycle.

  • did someone say... razorwire ;) lol

  • If this company is based in Australia, why not mention that it protects our Parliament House, instead of just catering to US customers.

  • Comment removed

  • too bad if the bonnet was actually a SPY GLIDER

  • wow!!! cool!!! it is rock solid!!!!!

  • wtf these have been in the UK for years, theres nothing new about them
