“That does not look like thirty feet to me.”

These are 18 foot bollards. Most people who fall from that height will walk away from it, virtually none would die from it.

30 foot bollards, like those going into Calexico, CA, are the really dangerous ones. That is where the guy recently broke both his femurs, and injured his back. 30 feet is the height from which about half the people who fall will die.

Well, then we need 30 foot tall bollards, not 18 foot.

Not if We put some Punji Sticks there...

I imagine that is because if one falls off a 30 foot wall and breaks both legs in the middle of the desert, one is in heap big trouble unless one is found soon.

And oh how our media would becry such a cruel and heartless murder wall.

And now WE TAXPAYERS will foot the Medical Bills and Pay for and off the Lawsuit.

Having climbed ladders in the construction trades for the last forty years, I can assure you that most people will NOT just up and walk away from an 18 foot fall.

That's the height of an average two story house. A fall from that height will result in major, life changing injuries, if not death. A fall from less than half that height, can result in serious fractures and broken bones.
