My guess is it wasn’t speed. It’s probably an all-wheel drive car and the front wheels are really close to the front.
So a stubborn driver could tap the bollard, get mad their car stopped, then after contact hit the gas hard and ride up the bollard while still keeping traction on the front wheels because they’re never pushed off the ground. The bumper would take less damage because after the first push most of the motion is upward.
Where did you find the specification of this one specific bollard and where is the furnace that it is supposed to protect? If there is nothing to protect, why should it be up to the same standard?
We can see that it is damaged, there is really no need to discuss it. It did not bend concrete but the steel tube. The concrete just snaps, it can’t handle bending. It is just in there to prevent collapsing of the tube, so compression, which concrete can do really well.
There is also no other way for this to happen other than the bollard bending or a crane etc. dropping the car.

How does it ride up the bollard when we assume the bollard does not budge?
Seriously, you can even see the damage on the bollard, it is clear that it got bend down.
Concrete doesn’t bend.

Sunken ones are the same and given such a dumb statement you clearly know you’re wrong now but won’t admit it.
The concrete is not there to prevent the tube from collapsing. You have that completely backwards.
It’s clearly not bent. Get your eyes checked.
