In the city, the risk is not a high-speed crash: it is tipping over while stationary in a parking space, bending a lever and mirror and costing a morning at the workshop. Outside the city, it is branches and gravel. The two-point mounting is what Barkbusters designed specifically for this: the bar forms a cage around your hand and transfers the impact to the structure instead of the lever. The \u003cem\u003esingle-point\u003c\/em\u003e configuration, the other setup in the range, is specified by the manufacturer only for protection from wind and weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat-treated aluminum frame, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact absorption.
