Other solution was bending the start / end of the rails into the ground, to prevent the "blades" shown in PH's photos. |
They did this in fifth gear or top gear - whatever - and then it created a jump. They ran a remote controlled vehicle up it to see how far it could jump. It was quite effective - lept up and over a fake motorway sign they had placed inside.
Its all a cost benefit analysis and as new technologies are developed so will things change for the safer or better - time will see to it. Hopefully the rally will put quicker thought into this development.
