Tangiers Rooftop Chase


In one of the scenes while fleeing the police, Jason grabs two shirts and runs towards a low wall with edged and broken glass all across it. The police officers behind him can't scale it so they move on. Why on Earth would someone put a straight line of heavy glass on their wall on a roof top?

reply

Basically as a cheap security system to put people off climbing onto their roof, and is pretty common in a number of countries

Along with acting as a poor man's security system, it also deters rodents.

I come from Pakistan and there we do the same. We cement in some broken bottle glass on the wall so that no one would climb our walls. As security is not so good and often robbers climb in houses through low height walls,that's why.

I am from the Caribbean and we do the same there. Prevent people from climbing over your wall..burglars

Seems like those glass security systems would be the most reliable ones to have.
