Frangible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A frangible bullet is one that is designed to disintegrate into tiny particles upon impact to minimize their penetration for reasons of range safety, to limit environmental impact, or to limit the danger behind the intended target. An example is the Glaser Safety Slug.

A frangible light pole base is designed to breakaway when a vehicle strikes it. This lessens the risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle.
