"What makes you think a shipping container is going to be any more effective than existing deformable buffers?"Obviously I don't mean 'just plonk down a shipping container'. I wrote of engineering such a container with a collapsible filling (which doesn't 'go anywhere', it crushes like foam). That would include testing including containment of 'metal flying away'. Such as item is pretty well foolproof; it works regardless of what shape equipment hits it and can't be ridden over. A railroad specific buffer also works, but may carry a steep $$$ markup. My point was to illustrate how simple and inexpensive a crushable buffer can be. |
