Ouch that’s one way to stop! Hope you weren’t the driver and hope the driver is ok! Definitely was a nice car!
Alternate title.... Mudderforking snakes on a guardrail!
Coulda been worse... coulda been an original. 
Running when parked.....
OUCH - well, I'll bet I know what the first words were out of the driver's mouth when it all came to a halt.

Now, I didn't really want to do that . . .
Oh good grief.
Who designed these new guardrails?

Holy cripe!!! That's 4 vehicle impalements, and this is only one forum! It makes you wonder how often that happens nation-wide? Stay off your phone, pay F#@%ing attention to what's going on, keep your head on a swivel (so you can see around those ginormous "A" pillars - with those air bags for your protection), and stay alive! Every time you get in/on your vehicle, it's a "mission". Your mission is to get your vehicle and yourself to your destination in one piece.

Wow 2M ! Those are some horrific photos!
I took a look I think those "impalements" may have changed the specs on guard rail installs. I seem to recall Wisconsin changing a lot of the entry points. Most round here now start out far off the shoulder and underground to avoid the impalement issue. Where there isn't room big Sand filled "explosion boxes" do the slowdown, You see lot of stupid moves at off ramps where drivers attempt a last second exit.
