There have been several posts providing facts about guard rail ends. Designers have developed lots of ways to prevent the impalements or other such damage.
My obverstaion is that there seems to be an inordinate number of hits on guard rail ends as oppposed to say hits some where in the middle or perhaps damage to ground where the vehicle ran off the road.
It seems like the guard rail ends are vehicle magnets. Why?
“Why?”
My guess is it is related to the phenomena of trailer parks being twister targets. Strange forces at play in the cosmos.
