are non-conforming, no?
The intent of the continuous top rail is to ensure that there is something
to stop falls if (for any reason) a light disappears ...

I can't remember if this was IBC or CBC but there is something about how the
rail must span at least 3 panel sections so that if one breaks the other two
will act as temp support. I'm pretty sure it was the IBC.

Can anyone confirm for me, under any/all US codes, if a continuous top rail
is mandated on all glass "guard rail" systems? . if it's a judgement call
or if it's not even mentioned .
Thanks
