Pole-Safe® Omni-Directional Breakaway Supports for Poles
Transpo's "Double Neck" Pole-Safe® breakaway support system is designed for poles located within roadside clear zones and other locations vulnerable to vehicular impacts. The primary component of the system is a high-strength coupling, designed to break away quickly and cleanly upon impact, thus saving lives and reducing property damage. Pole-Safe® couplings are omni-directional, meaning the system breaks away with consistent, predictable behavior, regardless of the vehicle's angle of impact..

none of the light standards at the pentagon were sliced in half but broke at the base as they were designed to do..
The poles are built to break.Car hits it at 50 and the pole snaps and the car continues in motion for fractions of a second more, the force is greatly decreased. Still large, but not as much. How strong the force ends up being is the inverse square of the time it takes to apply the force. missed it here's the answer again....How strong the force ends up being is the inverse square of the time it takes to apply the force.
oh btw flight 77 did not have to hit the poles to knock them down the blast from the exhaust of any one of the engines would be more then enough..... The RollsRoyce RB211-524 engine is rated at 58,000 to 60,000 lbs of thrust...
