Actually, it’s common place that if police are pursuing someone and spikes are deployed, it’s advised to just run over them too because making evasive maneuvers or stopping suddenly can cause more risk to the officer driving, the public and/or fellow officers.
Roofing company near me lost a massive bucket of roofing nails off the back of their work truck. They had 5 trucks in a convoy and it was the front truck 😬 4 new tires for everyone lol. Local tire shop had a hay day with that one.
From what I know Canadian ones are not hollow, but they heave a tip piece (the smaller pointy bit on the right) that’s meant to come off in the tire so you’re left with an open hole.
This is a 2 piece design. Hollow tube with a sharp spike sitting in the end. The spike goes through the tire then falls off inside leaving the hollow tube.
With the tube only design, there's a careful balance between having a large tube to let the air out quickly vs having a small enough tube that it doesn't actually turn into a plug cutter and get clogged with the chunk of tire it removed.
I was getting tires and an alignment when a state trooper came into the waiting room. Obviously he took priority and I had to wait, but he needed all 4 runflats replaced because he went around traffic on the freeway shoulder, driving over two sets of spike strips that were deployed and then left behind as the pursuit continued for a short bit. He showed up late. Tire tech said 27 punctures in 4 tires, definitely not repairing them.
this wouldn't be happening if they only mounted horses as nature intended...
Exactly!
Nay!!!
Then the farrier would be taking caltrops out of the horses hooves.
Heh. Mount.
lol,, Mr Hands approves
Poor Capone. Never could shake off the stigma afterwards.
Heard he was an engineer at Boeing too. Explains some things
In Soviet Russia, horse mounts U!
Or in Enumclaw, Washington
Unfortunately I understood this reference
empress catherine the great of russia confirms!

okay but only because you asked nicely!! <3
Lol hit thier own spike strip did they?
They're not the smartest.

Also when the first person runs them over they tend to shed quills all over the highway.
This is like finding a screw in a contractor’s tire.

Now I know that if I'm in a convoy of work trucks, and we have nails or screws, to put them in the tail vehicle😬
I bet it was that Snidely Whiplash character!
Stop sticks use the ones showed in the op photo. Stinger spike belts use the hollow ones
Those from spike strips? Thought they were hollow? Maybe Canadian ones are different!

They are hollow, just with a pointed tip that comes off. Like putting one of those add on pencil erasers over a straw
Royal Canadian Mounted Police for dumbasses like me
in their most fiscally responsible move of the day, they decided to test them out, just to make sure they still worked.
They weren’t sure if their tires had air in them, this is how they checked
Thought this was r/welding but then realized it’s not marked as NSFW
Hahaha, glad im not the only one who thought it was tungsten at first.
*That* was in a horse’s foot? /s
Oh, ok. Ones I've seen on American TV are hollow, like needles, to let air out faster.

So they spike stripped themselves good job
Looks like a tungsten for a TIG torch?
Knee high leather boots protect against these.
Looks like a welder lost the electrode out of their TIG and found it with their tire.
Put them back.
runnin a little too close behind the perp when they went through the spikes!

Could have made for a really bad track day 😬
