The Texas Crash Cushion Trailer of 20 gage 55-gallon steel drums with 8 in. holes in the top and bottom with a set of wheels and a trailer hitch has been successfully tested in a head-on collision. When properly attached to a maintenance vehicle such as a dump truck it will provide protection to the maintenance vehicle, maintenance or construction personnel, and the driver and passengers of an errant vehicle. There is still a need for testing and evaluation for impacts at angles up to 10 degrees. (Author)
