A high-impact structural barrier is provided. The barrier comprises a plurality of sections and is configured to be removably coupled to a ground surface. Each section generally includes two frame members, a ground frame extending between the two frame members that is configured to be supported by a ground surface, and a mesh extending between the two frame members. The means to secure the barrier to the ground include cables that are removably coupled to the ground, ground anchors that are removably coupled to the ground, and/or anchor weights that are removably coupled to the framework and/or the ground.

An energy absorption device for absorbing at least a portion of impact energy occurring in an impact of an impact body in a safety net construction includes at least one cable guiding unit forming at least one cable receiving region for receiving and/or guiding at least one cable, and further includes at least one energy absorption element, arranged in the cable receiving region and forming at least one friction surface for the guided cable, the energy absorption element being configured, if a force inducing movement of the cable across the friction surface is exerted on the cable, to selectively absorb at least a portion of energy the force created via substantial deformation and/or abrasion of the friction surface. A cable brake, particularly a block-and-tackle cable brake, includes an energy absorption element of the energy absorption device, which is arranged at the deflection element on a side facing toward the cable.

The present disclosure relates to a protective structure having a plurality of supports arranged spaced apart from each other; having a trapping device which is guided on the supports via at least one support cable arrangement; and having a ground anchorage for free ends of the at least one support cable arrangement. The ground anchorage is designed as a deadman anchorage.

A flexible glass protective net with landscape function for falling objects and a design method thereof includes flexible support ropes, buckling clamps, articulated pieces, glass plates and seam rubber strips; the flexible support ropes are arranged crosswise in a grid shape, the buckling clamps are arranged at grid nodes, and the glass plates are arranged in the grids; the glass plate includes pieces of glass, and the pieces of glass are connected by the seam rubber strips at seams; the glass is clamped and fixed by the articulated piece, the tail end of the articulated piece is connected to the buckling clamp, and the glass plate is connected to the buckling clamp via the articulated piece; mutually crossing and separated slots are reserved in the buckling clamps, and the flexible support ropes at the grid nodes respectively pass through the slots.
