Aren't the railings supposed to be sturdy enough? Dapat di yan bibigay kahit high impact.

There were already several incidents of vehicles falling off the skyway (i recall the armored car and a Fortuner). Definitely something wrong with the barrier design.

Let it be a reminder to all bus drivers out there that they are mortal.
