Message: <blockquote data-quote="shawn_esr" data-source="post: 669699" data-attributes="member: 34646">"Vibrations are deadly" would probably be my best way of explaining this. Considering that the lamppost is one of those beautification ones, it's insanely reinforced to support the weight of the blings, extremely thin to minimize impact area or in short, it's made to kill.That alone won't be so bad but at high speed impacts, the pole vibrates at an insane pace thus causing repeated damage at a single point repeatedly. The car is partially suspended clearly showing signs of that happening and well, from high speed collision as well. Real life tools that uses these theory includes the vibroblades and vibro hammers. They vibrate at insane speeds and in the case of the blade, it could saw through bull bones in a matter of seconds (my bone and ivory saddles on my guitars were cut using the same tool). The hammer however utilizes speed + repetitive strikes speeding up metal fatigue (nails and things thats made to be hammered aside lol) or damage. The pole in this sense and again just my 2cents worth of theory (I'm just a guy who's in aviation not a scientist) is a primitive combination of both the tools mentioned. Though it's not as effective as either, it's still bad. Long thin pole, high speed impact by large mass, and (rain?). In some cases, speed is gained whilst losing control. I doubt this was a mechanical failure and I don't see a point in deadly beautification.</blockquote>
