Cars actually killing people without a barrier vs cars possibly killing them with. Seems like a good enemy of perfect scenario.

    You aren't arguing in good faith here. I'm not arguing against the barrier. I'm saying the barrier should be more robust.

    You can feel however you want to feel about this, but I'm betting you saw my original comment and made an assumption about what I meant and now you're doubling down.

    This was the first time in our thread you've mentioned that, so yes I'd agree it could always be safer. You didn't say that though, you said:

    Viewed as a good thing because nobody has gotten hurt yet.

    Which I and it looks like many others thought you meant you didn't want the barrier there at all. Need to be clearer if you have a point to make like that.

    The second comment made it pretty clear that the barrier height was the problem. But you either didn't read that or ignored it in favor of arguing. You didn't ask any questions. You made an assumption and then ignored the further clarification. That's on you.

    sigh some people will never own up and admit they made a simple mistake. It was a miscommunication man. Just be clear in the future. We aren't mind readers. If you don't include information we won't know about that information.
