Traffic cones survive being crushed due to flexible plastic

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Roadwork is protected by brightly colored hats designed to cheerfully survive vehicular assault. Instead of shattering upon impact, high-grade polyvinyl chloride formulations allow the cone to violently buckle under a heavy truck tire and then instantly pop right back into its original shape. A weighted rubber base keeps it stubbornly upright while it absorbs the chaos of highway traffic.
