  1. Those barriers are 6" high. On planet earth, you're not going airborn no matter how hard you hit them.

  2. The barriers also have fold over markers with them.

  1. That's not airborne. That's a bounce with wheels still firmly planted.

  2. Looks like it slowed the car down nicely.

I would happily have that between me and a motorist who can't stay in their lane.
