Its not the stripes its the defective crush ends. Instead of absorbing the impact they bend upward usually going straight through he windshield impailing the driver.

Know design defect since 2005.

I looked up X-LITE end terminal unsafe and this type of picture came up a lot:

So rather than a crushable barrier that slows you down or a rail that starts many feet from the road and gradually bends into the straight section, this just impales your car if you hit it.
