Whay do they call them safety rails?

I'm glad you asked.

Here in the US we use the steel rail shown here, but our posts are 'scored' wood which rest atop low concrete piers and are designed to snap off easily. Look for it next time you're on the road.

This is a Volvo station wagon, which though advertised as a safe vehicle is not safe when driven like a spike into the guardrail.

We advise drivers to approach the rail in a rather parallel fashion which scratches the finish to shit but also 'scoots' them back onto the road

Obviously this mook didn't get the memo

Hey Ralph, looks like a Benz-o to me... Nevertheless, you gotta be moving pretty fast to get the guardrail in the way-back like that.
