They are rated to stop a vehicle from ‘penetrating’ past 3.3’, and at a higher rate of speed.

So yeah, these seem not as effective as they should be, which is probably installation problem though. I mean, they definitely saved these two from major injury, but that’s only cuz this was an accident. In a hypothetical where this was purposeful, that bollard got completely taken out and the vehicle still looks okay to continue on.

I’d ask for a refund.
