Have you ever noticed a highway guard rail with a cap on the end like this? It's not just for looks! Read an explanation of what happens when a car hits a guard rail with and without an end cap. Beware that there are pictures of what happens when a guard rail does not have the safety cap. When I read things like this, I have more and more respect for civil engineers. Link
