have u seen one? the wired rope barrier is actuall made of steel and can sustain high tension. Also, the wired rope barrier has small 'working' area and thus, can produce high force accoding to F=m/A. The less area, the more force. to learn more, read this from wikipedia..

lol. Force has nothing to do with area dude. F=ma (massxacceleration). The correct term is pressure, P=F/A (force/area). stabbing with a knife is easier than stabbing with a mace cos of the small contact area of the knife compared to the hammer, even though the force might be equal.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_Rope_Safety_barrier
