The real break away ski poles cost a bloody fortune. They screw into the ground, and flex about 8" above the screw end. Rebar costs pennies.Silver said:Anyways...back to the rebar thing.
Why not use the spring loaded ski gates? Or just pvc? You'd have to dig a small hole, whereas with rebar you can just pound it in...but it would be a little more forgiving, no?
I'm still unclear too...was the rebar sticking out bare or not?
PVC would undoubtedly break, cut someone badly, and then he'd sue and say why didn't you use rebar. Same goes for wood, but substitute splinters.
