- In Switzerland, a company called Geobrugg developed a rockfall barrier that can stop 2 tonnes objectives that are traveling up to 65 miles per hour. It gives great protection in mountainous regions.

Heh! I never realised that Kabelwerke Brugg (they make electrical and signal cables as their core business) was at the root of this enterprise.
Fckd up bot bsht voice bsht,,,,,
The rock hitting that coach was brutal🥺
Fué un accidente en Perú
Bruh
Def more than 4000lbs
In the full vid a boulder hits the car recording aswell
@@eloycorimayhua7602did they survive?
That first Boulder was alot bigger than 2 tons
Tons isn't a unit of volume.
@@Willie-wf7vj who said it was? Did you want a more specific word like heavier? Cause saying something is bigger than 2 tons is the exact same as saying something is heavier than 2 tons.
@@Willie-wf7vj or saying it's more than, or larger than. All make the exact same point. I didn't mention volume anywhere.
a* GOT THAT *RIGHT
S O N N I E *!
qp
The rock that hit the vehicle was over 2 tons
Think 20 tons ore more, that truck was at least 8 tons and it got swiped like a kid kicking an empty can
BUT NOBODY GOT HURT😅
That's why we should scrap the whole project then, because there are rocks heavier than 2 tons? Do you even think before writing something?
@@kolyashinkarev7366ironically you didn’t think.
@@mdcclxxviepluribusunum1066 any arguments? Of course not, who am I kidding 😂
A Swiss company got a world record for strongest Rockfall net on the 11.10.2011. It was for 20 tons and 65mph but I think it was about that. He just got the weight wrong.
"No one was injured" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Fr
They have to say that or the video would have been banned.
@catchaser52 Actually no one was. Or at least seriously. It hit the back of it where cargo was. The driver was lucky
No one survived
It was a dumptruck in Perú, no one died because it hit the back of the truck instead of the cabin
Switzerland? Where else? All mountainous regions should have this, to prevent instant death. ☠️👎
It's near almost any mountainous place in Sweden and Norway too, speaking from personal experience
@@PingSharp I’ve not seen it in Spain, but I guess there’s not too many rocky outcrops there. I holiday on the SE coast. Only traveled inland a few times. 👍
Developed in Austria
It is literally all over rhe Europe.
It is literally all over the USA.
This actually saved my life once, ty Switzerland government❤❤❤
Don’t think that it could stop that boulder from the first clip 😂
LMFAOOO the guy in the first clip is dead fs right?😂
Fr like that guy is dead right? The car completely explodes after the rock hits it😂😂😂
Switzerland has the most sophisticated infrastructure in the world
Ppl never cease to amaze me with the genius inventions they come up with! This is so cool, I think every country, state should have these on the roads! Thanks for saving lives!
That is 4,000 pounds. However, even though that is a lot of weight, the fall increases the impact weight so a one ton rock, add the mph weight effect and it may easily be over 2 (4,000#'s) when it hits the net.
Youre right, but it is a lot more. If you drive with a car to a concretewall with 30kmh (19mph), you as a driver will get 30 G, that means 30 times your weight for a very small amount of time. Less than 1/100 of a second.
This boulder hit unbelievable hard into the ground
The net can stop the rock by slowing it down through the elasticity of the net. A fat concretewall could stop a Stone maybe just once and is crushed by that
Also, the net holds heavier boulders that fall at slower speeds. So the net does not only hold rocks below 2 tonnes...
Watch again - 4000 pounds at 65mph.
So it’s collecting rocks till they’re a meteor, okay
Build one in the upper atmosphere to stop meteors.
This accident was near Lima Perú.
Genius and perfect implementation.
The rock that weighs 2.1 tons and is moving at 66 mph 🗿
That truck got sent to heaven
GeoBrugg
High carbon steel reinforced netting
They used to be muy customer
Great products
The first one was more like 20 tons so...
👀 GREAT IDEA! ITS JUST A SHAME THAT
THIS IDEA WAS NOT THOUGHT OF BEFORE
N O W! BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I SUPPOSE! DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS THAT COULD PREVENT PEOPLE AND ANIMALS FROM GETTING HARMED OR KILLED IN HIGHLY DANGEROUS AREAS AND OR SITUATIONS?!
Much Respect, Thank YOU!
I live in switzerland and there is those net since a looooong time 😊
The boulder weighing 2.1 Tonnes travelling at 66 mph:
Also installed in India I saw it at vaishnodevi temple
That's cool!
And in almost any country where it’s possible.
I imagine made from old mattress springs. 😅
Switzerland, first world!
“No-one Was Injured” 💀
Truck: *Cruisin'*
Boulder: "And a KA-POW!!"
They have had these 'forever'!!! They also have a retention mesh (Something like chain-link fencing) fastened tightly over cliff faces above roadways, pathways and residences.
Switzerland also inspect cliff faces annually to look for loose rocks and potential new hazards. They often make these fall, while the road or pathway is closed, even though they fall into a mesh.
In Austria they use the same things. They also did something unique to protect a village from a possible rockslide: They installed numerous anti-tank items, similar to "Jacks" from the children's game by the same name.
We use these in New Zealand ❤
The fact that the car stoped when it needs to be before a rock came falling down right in front is amazing
This reminded me of the Australian PSA about texting and driving.
Could not believe that, I thought this net is for catching fish in case mountains go under water. Thank you for telling me that !
Salute to Switzerland... 👍👍👍
Altrettanto......👍👍👍 saluti dalla 🇨🇭🇨🇭
rock went and said “i like yo cut,g”
This net deserve an Oscar for saving life🤣🤣
30 years ago I work in Alpes French mountain and we work with that device to protect road. It's not new, not at all.
It's true. This and countless other methods have already been tried. With various efficiency. This is a problem in Scandinavia too.
Not only Switzerland. This stuff isn't new. We've had these nets in the Alps for years, now.
Nothing new. I live in British Columbia and we have had nets and mesh on dangerous rock slopes for decades
same here in switzerland absolutely nothing new
Beautiful inventions.
Imagine the rock hit you hard so bad that you fling and missed the safety net 💀
Bro that is all over Europe not only in Switzerland
I really don't think that the rock that is seen destroying the truck at the beginning of the video can be stopped with a net...😂
The rock boulder the guy tossed looked like a Lego boulder
Good they called it a "Safety Net"
It's not only in Switz
We have these nets in Hong Kong many decades already 😊
but not suisse quality… not even close
@@ahanthony*🤭 LMAO there is a saying in Hong Kongese, a guy who selling watermelon boosting how good his watermelon is (means nothing) ... Typical westerners, like American boosting GM quality and bashing Japanese cars till it bankrupt 6 times and became unofficially Government Motor; same goes American boost 737 Max "Fly Coffin" while bashing C919 ... the list goes on*
@@robertgittings8662 Only one problem in this case. He's the customer not the seller talking about quality.
they have this in the uk as well
Thank god im in Switzerland
This exist in many other countries since years... not only Switzerland!
The boulder, that took out the tipper truck, at the beginning, is over 10 tons.
Pov: the rock was 2 tons and one gram💀💀
Imagine the potential & kinetic energy, momentum, inertia...
the kinetic energy of 2 tons moving at 65 mph is approx. 1.66 megajoules
Actually, Switzerland is Johnny come lately! These steel nets has been around for decades and intalled in many countries rocky hills and mountains.
That rock that took out that 1st truck weighed at least 15 tones. Not so genius after all.
Well the chance of a 15 tones boulder rolling down is way less likely as one with 2. It helps a lot already.
People are doing this in germany for centuries!
Even our Indian Used it a couple of years ago In Our Jammu Katra At MA VAISHNO DEVI TEMPLE ❤
Bro doing an educational video and just popped a truck getting demolished and Dissapear by falling boulder 💀
Portugal also has this system implemented. Lasts years and years!!!!
I‘ve seen these get built by giant machines. It‘s actually one company in Romanshorn that produces all of them, they have more factories up north for other countries too
That's the biggest chain mail I've ever seen!
These nets are in extensive use in British Columbia Canada . They are in wide spread use in the Fraser Canyon , Hwy 5, and many other dangerous mountain passes.
That system is in Honolulu, Hawaii
2 tonnes falling at 65mph is 58100 Newtons upon impact
In Kenya we have magnets special for such problems which is a game changer
I live in Washington. We have these barriers all over the place.
Yo that first clip, straight exploded the vehicle
I’m lucky to be in Switzerland 😮
Looks like the rock that hit the truck was much bigger.
We're seriously not going to talk about the person who died at the first second of this video?
Truck: HEHEHEHE HEHE ImA KINDPAP. Rock:NO
This is dynamic system, which can not save, if the rock is too big. In Barcelona I've seen static nets, that just keeping potentially movable rocks
I bet if you staggered like 3 or 4 walls of those nets youd be surprised by how much more gets stopped.
"This net can save your life" casually shows someone dying…
That truck got obliterated
It takes a lot of Olympic Rings , to make that barrier ….good thing they never threw them away ….
Good job 😮
Chainmail for mountains...nice.
the "Net" wont save your life, "NOT" driving through the Swiss Alps will
I thought everyone had this technique.
In India every rocky mountain which was cut to build road has a steel wire mesh net for safety.
Two tons not even a boulder yet, still just a rock
Bro got absolutely destroyed
In Serbia we have these nets with some stone(weights) at the end and we come up on the place where rocks have been falling from(and similar places) and drop the nets down.
These nets are used in Reunion island for about 40 years. They are made from anti submarine nets
Falling Rocks was a young American Indian who set out to kill a bear as a rite of passage to transition from boy to warrior, but never came home. After much fruitless searching the tribe decided to post signs all over the countryside, in case someone should see him. You can see the signs to this very day: "WATCH OUT FOR FALLING ROCKS"...
We have them in Germany too, usually they are spread flat over the entire mountainface so they can keep the boulders under the net.
kannst schon auf deutsch schreiben bruda
@@sierragutenberg natürlich kann ich das, aber das video ist englisch.
In any case, it improves crash protection.
Perfect safety excellent 👍
It’s expensive doe. The Swiss don’t cover all roads with this net.
The truck driver was traumatized 💀
I don’t think he is ok
It's also everywhere now (developed countries)
I have seen such nets in Colorado and California.
That one boulder that Waze 3 tons and is going at 67 miles an hour
This nets is required in North Himalayan region
They have those all over the mountains of north carolina
Only in Switzerland? Check again please…
We've got them in the USA also
Leave it to the Vikings to make use of giant chain-mail. Wonderful!
Nah nothing saving people from caseoh💀
That’s true because I live in Switzerland 🇨🇭.
It’s in most countries and has been for the last 50 years.
Whoa... actually when i was a kid i wanted to be an inventor while driving on a mountain this was my first idea!!!
What do you do now?
I think you were a little late, like 66 years too late, that exists in most mountain ranges.
200 Tonnes Boulder : Allow me to introduce myself.
In India We have this on vaishno devi trek.
