You mean when the cardboard fatigues from the buffeting and it tears off
and lands in the roadway?  Yeah, probably... ;-)

Aluminum or fibreglass or some combination of similar materials might be a
better choice.  Both are fairly easy to work with, though neither is as
cheap as cardboard and there can be more hazards in using drills, TIG
welders, hot wires, and epoxy resins than there are with scissors, utility
knives and tape.
