Abstract: A vehicle crash wall with a series of overlapping metal plates attached to a retaining wall by means of a metal sleeve inserted into a female receiving tube. Located between the metal plates and retaining wall is an impact absorbing material. The metal sleeves, 3, are perpendicularly attached to the metal plates, 1, by inserting them into slip joints, 16, and inserting metal pins, 11, vertically through the top of said metal sleeves and into swivel hinges, 10, located beneath said slip joints. The female receiving tubes, 4, are located inside the middle of the retaining wall, 8, perpendicularly extending approximately half-way behind said retaining wall. Said metal sleeves are vertically supported by rollers arms, 5. Said metal plates are perpendicularly supported by cable hold backs, 6, and horizontally by support cables, 13. The force of the impact is evenly dissipated along the length of metal plates and energy absorbent material.
