    How fast were you backing up to do this?????

    This is one of those BIG bollards. Like 8 or 10 inch. Concrete filled. I mean exactly how fast were you going?????

    It's big, but may not have been very deeply buried!
    Makes an interesting photo though.

    There's a gas station truckstop in Tremonton Ut. They sell CNG. One of them bollards on both sides of the island. Someone actually hooked up a chain and pulled one out. And left the chain.

    I had one driver back up to one of those with his truck cuz he missed my garage door and managed to keep hitting the gas but it was just spinning the wheels #### i can't imagine how fast or hard they hit for that kind of damage
