| Critical Factor | X-Last Pencil Bollard | Flexible (budget) | Rigid metal/timber |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student Safety Risk | HIC 460 – reduced injury risk | Typically higher HIC – may pose injury risk | HIC ~4600 for rigid – higher injury risk |
| Liability Exposure | EN12767 certified – reduced exposure | May lack passive-safety certification | Often non-passive in pedestrian contexts |
| Long-term Costs | Lower replacements over lifecycle | More frequent replacement | Ongoing repairs and repainting |
| Vehicle Protection | Flexible – reduces damage in low-speed impacts | Limited protection for vehicles | Rigid – can damage vehicles |
| Installation Disruption | ~6kg – quicker to install | Varies by product | Heavier – may need more equipment |
| Weather Resistance | Weather resistant polymer | Performance varies by material | Can rust/rot without maintenance |
