Claim:
1. A barrier system comprising: an elastic net having a cable coupled thereto; an energy absorption member coupled between the cable and an anchoring assembly; a post having a longitudinal axis, wherein the post is coupled to a longitudinal end of the net; and an actuation assembly coupled to the net and configured to rotate the net about an axis of rotation between a closed position restricting vehicle access through the barrier system, and an open position allowing vehicle access through the barrier system; wherein the actuation assembly comprises: wherein, when the actuation assembly rotates the net between the closed and open positions, the net remains unfolded; wherein the cable is configured to transfer a kinetic energy of a moving vehicle impacting the net to the energy absorption member; wherein the energy absorption member is configured to absorb at least a portion of the kinetic energy; wherein the cable extends through a passage extending longitudinally through the post.
