B. Spike Devil is super small compared to all other Spikes and can fit the bags of a Motorcycle.

C. Spikes come in many sizes shapes and forms and none of them are smaller.

210 A. How was Singular deployment dangerous?

B. The Spikes (Stixs) not connected to a cord was critiqued as an obvious risk.

C. Adding a cord and sleeve as a way to retrieve spikes was seen as the way improve safety.

D. The lack of cover and concealment was declared as the problem.

230 A. What is the recommended safe method of deploying an Auto-spike system?

A. Using protective cover and concealment to not expose yourself to traffic.

200 D. What is the function of the accordion frame?

A. When deployed the Frame slides open, and momentum smoothly extends the system across the roadway in an extended fashion.

B. When pulled from traffic the frame hits the curb, dirt, grass, etc. and it folds itself and is designed not to remain on the roadway and be a hazzard to spike cars.

200 E. What features does Spike Belt have over other multi-sided systems that make it better in deployment?

A. Spike belt has 360 degree handles, making it easier to grab.

B. Spike belt sleeve has an anti-tangle design so it does not tangle up on deployment.

C. Spike belt cord can be grabbed, allowing it to open up and fall in an extended fashion.

D. Spike belt when pulled from traffic has smooth edges and designed to float over the curb, grass, etc. much better so that it does not stay in traffic and become a traffic hazzard, or place the officer at risk by entering traffic to pull the system.

E. No benefits.

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

A. The system must be opened up by the officer pulling on the cord to open up and extend the system.

B. Three sided systems have spikes at an angle and if not perpendicular to the tire point away from the tire and may not work.

C. The officer must pull the system, after its deployed, this is called a post deployment adjustment.

D. The officer risks not spiking the target, and might place himself at risk, by staying close to the target.

E. Works normal just narrower.

200 G. What happens if a Spike belt lands crooked on the roadway?

A. The spikes point straight up and work regardless of the approach angle of the car.

B. Nothing all spikes work if they are hit by tires, upside down, crooked, etc.

200 H. What Benefits does Spike Belt have over traditional Multi-sided systems on deployment?

A. You can eliminate the need to re-adjust the system, by holding onto the cord, this allows the system to open up and fall on the roadway in an extended fashion.

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

C. 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.

D. Multi-sided systems are all the same.

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