There's catch fencing (full height) on the "primary" barrier and lower height on the 2nd barrier in the video. There are often bracing bars in place between the front & rear barriers too.

It looks like that is a marshal post & of course arguable about whether it is on the "outside" as the outside/exit of the chicane is in fact where Scotty hit the wall initially.
