Or a ramp with "one-way teeth" that stops it with gravity and stops it from sliding back down with teeth. | ||||||||

The ramp will need to be very long and very high in order to absorb the momentum of a fully loaded widebody jet. Not something that you'd want near a runway where planes can land in either direction. | ||||||||

Sounds like a much more substantial runaway truck ramp | ||||||||
