Is your truck strong enough??
Have you ever wondered how strong those cement barriers are that you see in
front of military base entrances? I mean, what purpose do they actually
serve?
When told that the barriers will stop traffic, even trucks, from approaching
a secure building, most people respond with a look of disbelief.
In this test, the following parameters were used.
Truck = 29.5 tonnes.
Speed = 80 kph
Kinetic Energy = 7,456,900 Newton Metres.
Stopped within 60 cm !!
This LINK is to 1.8MB video file!
Well worth the view.

If they were really serious theyd be driving a Morris Ambassador into that wall.

My old '54 Chev would have made it through !
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

I don't think the t-shirt alone would do it.
