Here's some feedback from the field on the MGS. In this case the rail was hit from the back and popped off a longer run. I don't think this is surprising, but would appreciate any comments.
One question this raises, is about re-using the rail element. The only damage appears to be a little deformation around the bolt hole where the button head pulled through. This could probably be straightened in the field.
Thanks for the guardrail damage photographs. From the photographs, I only can see some minor deformation around the guardrail bolt slots. As long as there are not any fractures or cracks around the slotted holes, I am not too concerned about reusing the rail by re-mounting it to the posts/blocks. However, you may consider using the downstream side of the slot if the downstream hole can be used on each blockout/post.
