Help please.

We are starting to get a collision barrier known as Bryson Rope installed 
on divided roads here in Australia and we are very concerned about the 
(lack of) safety for motorcyclists who might collide with these structures.

The Bryson rope is high tension steel cables strung at about 18 and 24 
inches above the ground between steel H-beam posts spaced about 10 feet 
apart.  It seems to us riders that these barriers which are designed to 
catch cars and stop-head on and same-direction collisions will prove 
absolutely lethal to motorcyclists and we are trying to find out if there 
is any information or statistics on this from elsewhere in the world. We 
are hoping to convince the governmentthat they must remove these barriers 
or they will be liable to hugeliability suit payouts due to criminal 
negligence in allowing such a dangerous structure to motorcyclists to be 
built.  We already have admission that motorcyclists were not thought of 
at all when the decision to use Bryson Rope was taken.

Your assistance in this matter would be invaluable.

Best Regards,

Mark Hall
