<p>A means for slowing down and/or stopping the motion of a land vehicle, comprising an elongated net (1) which has been arranged to grab hold of the moving vehicle; and brake members (2) which connect the net to substantially fixed anchoring points (3). The brake members (2) comprise first brake members (4) and second brake members (5); a first brake member and a second brake member have been provided on either end of the net (1); and the first brake member on either end of the net is connected to the nearest end of the net and the second brake member is connected to the opposite end of the net. The net comprises a head rope (7) and a foot rope (8), both paralleling the longitudinal direction of the net, and warp element (9) therebetween, which form the meshes (10) of the net; and the mesh size of the net is substantially consistent with the wheel size of the vehicle that has to be stopped or slowed down.</p> |
