Pretty Impressive, That

Testing a runaway-truck arrestor:

That's a little more elaborate than the Laurel Hill escape ramp. It's on one of the steepest sections of US Hwy 26 descending from Mt. Hood with a sharp right-hand curve at the bottom. That road used to be part of the Barlow Road/Oregon Trail and was considered the most dangerous part of the entire Trail.

I like the containment features that WYDOT put in on the Teton ramp. Our Oregon ramp is just a long, deep stretch of loose gravel going uphill.

Was the steel clanking sound coming from the test driver?

What's wrong with a loose gravel pit for runaway trucks? All I see here is stuff that could fail and gravel is always there. Go with what is proven to work.

w3ski, the gravel pit arrestors are somewhat dangerous. Drivers have been killed using them.
