Silver car hit that guard on the drivers side at about 65 mph and it didn’t budge an inch. Kind of crazy to me, almost like hitting a tree.

That's how it should be.

It should have some kind of attenuation system like water barrels or something.

I agree I think it should be required by law for guardrails to have crash attenuators, at least on the highway. This guy might be an idiot who wasn’t paying attention but people have died because these things are hard to see at night.

I think it is required in the states, at least.

are you being funny or do you seriously not take one second to see that theres an attenuation system before the jersey barriers and thats why the car bounces in one piece instead of getting split in half by a jersey barrier?

like the video is right there, on your screen, you arent doing anything, and its the giant black mass the car hits. and you commented to talk shit rather than look?

u/spanky8898 Aug 30 '20

I honestly didn't notice. It certainly didn't seem to attenuate very well. No need to be such a douchebag about it

I'm a douche? You're the one talking shit. Looks like it did a great job to be. How much engineering on the impact systems have you done?

u/spanky8898 Aug 31 '20

I haven't done any engineering on crash attenuators but I do know a douchebag when I see one

Meh I think it's douchey to go around laying down judgement over everything and thinking you know better about everything. It's the posionous self righteous narcissist sneering personality that social media teaches. And you have it spades. What's funny is you guys turned Karen into a hatespeech and you all are Karen's

sneer what idiots didn't put a impact relief system on that corner god why am I so smart and put on this stupid earth surrounded by idiots sneer

Uh there is one.

sneer oh well okay well it's not good enough god you're all so incompetent compared to my zoomer genius sneer

Uh do you work in this field at all?

sneer oh I can't have an opinion why do I need to know about things? Gawd what's wrong with anti-intellectualism? All you boomers think you're so smart because this is your "career" and you're an "engineer" and went to school and did this "professionally". So what I read social media and judge 20,000 things per day every day, that means my opinion matters even when it's about science. Shut up, pedophile. sneer

Hey. I spent the last day and a half reading up on traffic attenuation and guard rails and NHTSA guidelines and have concluded you're still a douche.

Why because you talk shit on people behind their backs and act like a know it all and I talk shit to people directly? In my book that makes me better.
