A hollow flagpole would collapse into upon hitting it with any force at all.
His injury most likely consist of facing himself in the mirror and seeing a weeping pussy. Just laying the foundation for any monies that will be made available for those that suffered injuries on 1/6. Waiting for that non attorney spokesperson to spew... no medical examination required call now.

I use it for machine guard windows, when they take too much of a beating to see through, or lets say I used to. I have let them get a little ratty. I machine softer metals very aggressively and the shavings come off looking like a combination of wood shavings like they used for gerbil bedding and #10 wood screws. The noise it makes with the shrapnel hitting the 3/16th thick window makes anyone want to stay the hell away. The impact is probably like shooting pea gravel out of a blunderbuss at 15 yards. All that noise and it makes small nicks. I have never shot it with anything but I doubt a bb or pellet gun would penetrate it.
For those that have never owed a flag pole like those used on J6, they are similar to a cheap shower curtain rod.
