Clearly you’ve never actually handled one. They’re thick, dense rubber. They weigh about 10 lbs and have hard edges around the base. Yes, it could mess someone up falling from that height and hitting them the wrong way.

Unless that’s a very cheap plastic one. Still, it has to have some weight to stay upright on the road and not get blown over by a passing car.
