 Gate Safety - REVIEW
Most of us have to drive through access gates at some point of our driving careers.
We have had numerous incidents with gates swinging in the wind and hitting vehicles.
This guy caught a gate that was probably hidden by the tree line as he rounded the corner.
Look at all four pictures to see how lucky this guy really was.

At first I figured it was a bump gate, and he tried to follow somebody

 Re: Gate Safety - REVIEW
I go through over a hundred a week of those gates... you do have to watch it. they're usually made ouf of a single pipe, and they're extremely easy to miss when they're opened towards you.
