The Applied research automotive center (IDIADA Automotive Technology) has realized impacts test with X-Last® bollards and metallic ones.
At a speed of 40 Km/h, which is a most common speed limit in cities centers, metallic bollards cause irreversible injuries on persons.
There is an international criterion which is used to evaluate injuries caused on the head of a person after impacts. This criterion is called HIC (Head Injury Criterion).
The maximum value beyond which there are irreversible injuries is 1000.

At 40 km/h, the test made in IDIADA research center have proved that the HIC criterion obtained after the impact of a human head on a metallic bollard is 4600.
This is almost 5 times the international limit.
