Bollard stops 30 tonne truck at 50mph - ATG Access

This video, from ATG Access - http://www.atgaccess.com - shows a single ATG Access SP1200 Automatic Rising Bollard stoppinga fully laden 30 tonne truck travelling at 50mph. When the truck struck the bollard the energy produced was around 7400kJ. For illustration this is roughly equivalent to the energy of a 1.5 tonne car travelling at over 220mph.

This is to stop people from ramming explosives-laden vehicles into buildings. They don't care what happens to the driver.

@buntongm Wrong, they use these on roads in the UK and the Netherlands. Imagine you're going down the road and see a yellow light (everyone ignores yellow lights and for good reason) then WHAM you're car is fucking totaled and you're likely left in shambles (if you're alive). Fuck this nazi shit.
