200 F. What happens when multi-sided Spike systems land crooked?

B. Multi-sided systems are all the same.

C. You grab the handles from anyside, speeding up the deployment process, and eliminating any fumbling around to organize the Spikes.

D. Spike Belt has eliminated many parts, that come loose in traffic and the spiked tires, we also hold the spike tight in place with our foam insert, and our enclosure holds a tight grip on any spike hanging out of the strip.

200 I. What benefits does Spike belt have over an accordion type system that other multisided systems do not?
