An Argument for guard rails

Reader Mike sent this along, with the word "Gulp!"...from the cartalk section of cars.com linked from the cars.com section of cartalk.com...

Guardrails1

Look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail, right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guard rail. It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was traveling.

Now look at the second picture below...

Visit cartalk.com for the second picture: http://www.cartalk.com/content/links/guardrails.html

'Gulp!' indeed!
