It's designed so that if you're close enough to push on it, your own weight prevents it from being pushed over. If you somehow do topple it, it makes you fall down and creates a smaller barrier. That would slow down a crowd from simply pushing by a fallen section of the fence.
The real trick would be for everyone to get off the footings and push it over with poles. Then just stack sandbags or whatever to create a little step over area.
I wonder how securely that mesh is attached to the frame. It would be a shame if some swoletarian was able to break that shit right off with a prybar or some axe swings.
the article just says 'its difficult to scale', but anyone with a good vertical or a boost from a comrade could get over it. nullifying it by overturning, deconstructing, or destroying is a different talk.
idk why im talking about it though except to debunk the marketer, you don't want individuals or small groups hopping that shit you want a whole ass mob
Man you could make a siege ramp in about thirty minutes at any hard-ware store with a lumber yard. All you need to do is find a couple of theater techs and like one medieval recreation nerd.
The problem isn't the stupid barrier, it's that the people don't have the right state of mind to take the barrier down. it's basically symbolic, it wouldn't stop even a single front end loader with a fork, but can you imagine Americans actually using heavy construction equipment to push a police line?

Cordless angle grinder from Milwaukee® would probably make quick work of those chain links
Of course tons of piggies behind the thing so may be a while to cut a human sized hole
Yeah you would just want to break the connections between different sections of fencing imo. They're probably riveted into the cement though.
