Johnny 3eaglesPrevent ice from sliding off.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

When the snow and ice begin to melt and slide off it breaks them up so huge chunks don’t land on folks.

flesheatingvirusDo they keep large slabs of snow/ice from sliding off that roof when melting?

RAMIUSThanks guys. I’ve always wondered what the heck they were.
Thought it was decoration.

46and2Gargoyle eggs are flat like that.

.38supersigThey are for the mechanical gargoyles, not the eggs. The mechanical ones have a spring that needs to be wound with a key. They can hide in the daytime, but the keys remain exposed.

P220 SmudgeI’ve seen ice sheets slip from roofs that weren’t equipped with them in early spring that would easily kill a person if they were standing under them. I’ve also seen it happen on a college dorm building that was so equipped and it was neat to watch the whole thing break apart in chunks as it did so. Important fixture in certain parts of the country.

LS1 GTOI'm betting they either have something to do with ice and snow or, ripping someone a new asshole.
If a Sailor or Marine didn't install them, probably has to do with the ice/snow theory.

YooperSigsHere in the Yoop, if you park too close to a building with a metal roof, the ice can slide off and trash your ride.
The local Pizza Hut had a "beware of falling ice" sign on the door. Which was only readable while you were standing under the ice.

David LeeI used to stop at the Wawa outside Philly every night hauling FedEx Air freight. Young man came over top the rows of coffee pots with a fresh pot in hand. Slammed two of them together and they broke, giving me a full lower body coffee bath. Glad I had clean clothes on board.
