ABSTRACT:
A terrorist vehicle barrier is disclosed having high strength cables stretched between two vertical I-beams. The cables are attached to the I-beams in a unique shock absorbing arrangement. The barrier is actuatable from a position below ground to effectively arrest the motion of a high speed terrorist vehicle. Various means are disclosed for actuating the gate. The barrier is designed to solve esthetic problems encountered in making a building secure from terrorist attack as well as to be strong enough to stop a high speed vehicle with minimum damage to the barrier, the vehicle, or the vehicle driver.
