Fuck Me!!! That is upsetting and certainly food for thought for all of us.
Glad yer ok mate, things could be a whole lot worse.
You say you were only travelling around 10mph and this barrier was at the bottom of a ramp? How steep is the ramp?
My point is, what if you had seen the barrier but your brakes failed, or there had been a spillage on the ramp of some sort and you slid? This would have probably ended in the same result, so regardless of whether you did see the barrier or not, its obviously been mounted too high if its cleared the bonnet and hit the windscreen.
Are there not regulations for these sort of things?
