The Breakaway System for High-Impact Areas.
This durable, safe and reusable breakaway system is the ideal solution for small sign supports in high-impact areas. SLIP-SAFE™ is designed to be installed – and reinstalled – quickly and cost effectively. It can handle sign panels up to 42 sq. ft. using three 4 lbs./ft RIB-BAK posts within a 7 ft. span.

Simple Slip Base System.
The system utilizes a short RIB-BAK base or ground post, so it can easily and quickly be driven into even the hardest clay soils from ground level in just minutes. Specially designed castings are bolted to the top and bottom posts. These assemblies are bolted together with U-washers, with a keeper plate in between. All assembly uses basic hand or power tools.

Exceptional Driver Safety.
SLIP SAFE™ exceeds crash impact standards by more than 200 percent. NCHRP criteria for occupant impact velocity has established a maximum of five meters per second, with three meters per second preferred. In field tests, the SLIP SAFE™ cut the preferred occupant impact velocity in half.

Reusability.
By design, virtually the entire system is reusable after it’s hit. This reduces re-installation time, and saves money by reducing the cost of purchasing new parts and hardware.
