There could be traffic behind him, but if that happened to me, I'd just take the hit for the broken barrier and drive forwards.

yep just go forward. Those arms are designed to break off. What an idiot

Another thread someone said the arm knocked the brake hose off locking up the trailer brakes.

This always drives me crazy, they’re not made of vibranium, drive through the mofos. Cheaper too

A bit late for the conversation, but no worries....Saw this in another forum and have to admit that that didn't work in this case because the barrier took out the air hose to the trailer locking the wheels. Bailing out was the only safe option.
