This truck escape ramp near Incline Village, Nevada uses an Impact Technologies CatchNet system rather than a traditional gravel arrester bed. Installed on a steep downgrade where long descents can overheat truck brakes, the system uses a series of tensioned steel nets and energy-absorbing hardware to capture and bring runaway vehicles to a controlled stop within a short distance. The compact footprint makes it well-suited to the constrained mountain corridor, while redundant anchoring and guided entry panels help keep vehicles aligned as they enter the ramp, improving safety for both truck drivers and the traveling public.
