Randall Munroe’s humorous xkcd comic (shown above in my colorized version) from December 19, 2025 is simply titled Pole Vault Pole. The second one has a profile which resembles the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. An accompanying web page at Explain Xkcd notes all the rules say is that:
“The pole may be of any material or combination of materials and of any length or diameter, but the basic surface must be smooth."

The person on the thick pole is running the wrong way! It will move away from the bar.
