Deadly guardrails


This is a highway guardrail .
The very thing that is supposed to assist in protecting vehicles and its occupants lives , by absorbing , deflecting , and dissipating the force at point of impact , and most important of all , crumple , the very moment it is hit .
However , in the past one week alone , there have been 3 deaths caused by impalation via guardrail alone . 
You can't even label it a freak accident anymore after one too many occurrences .
Indeed , the guardrails have instead turned into giant deadly swords on our highways .
These " swords " are just not crumpling .
