That does not look like thirty feet to me.

I am suspect!

That construction cone does give you the impression the wall is only 12 or 15 feet high, doesn’t it?

Does this help?

Here you can see the old style Normandy barriers (vehicle barrier),
that are being replaced by bollards with anti-climb plate (pedestrian barrier).

After a second look, you may be right, I’d guess 18-20 feet.
Might only break one leg..

Maybe the other 18 feet are underground.

Look at the Traffic Cone vs The Wall. A Tall Cone is 36”. How many of those Cones height are in the Wall ? I come up with 9*3’=27’. And My eyes aren’t the best anymore.

“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.

Solution: Run a 12 KV exposed line along the top. Just put “Pelegro” signs with a skull & crossbones every so many feet on the Mexican side!
