Spiked fences are fences that have spikes at their top, meant to deter intruders. These fences used to be in wrought iron. Accidents have happened with them. David-Christopher, son of Romy Schneider died this way. As a narrative trope, they have been used in The Virgin Suicides, where Cecilia Lisbon jumped from second story window onto spiked fence, and before that in Hitchcock's Spellbound.
