My thoughts exactly, poor design. Those things should be engineered to take more then that. I think the guy that hit it won't be the only one in trouble, engineer/designer should have some heat on them as well.
no the clearence bar you go under beforehand is supposed to remove liability form the engineer of the structure in this case

I just got done camping with my slide-in. On top of it I have a good size saw horse to help support the camper so I am 13'3" high.
I really pay attention to fuel stop heights.

IMO, anyone driving a "tall" set up should be aware of overhead obstructions - even if there is no clearance bar.
yup, last year I started to pull into a hotel with a Penske truck. As I stopped the guy came out screaming. It turns out someone had run into the over hang the day before and he just had it repaired....he was a little wound up.....
