Flexible Guard Rail Demonstration
Barrier dissipates the energy of a collision for less damage and reduced chance of injury
Video description
Flexing rail systems have both strength and give. They absorb impacts from forklifts and other vehicles then return to their original shape, which minimizes damage to vehicles, floors, and the guardrail itself. By slowing vehicles before stopping them, the guardrails also help protect drivers from the stress of a sudden halt.
This quick video shows how flexible guardrail performs compared with steel guardrail.
