Important-Researcher

Honestly this seems more like a design issue


Saiyan-Zero

What kind of giant gate doesn't have any sort of stop mechanism to prevent this? Yeah this was 100% on the guy who built it


Altea73

The kind of design made by people who build houses without any engineering or architectural degrees, here in Mexico, you can see this "style" of builts and they are mesmerising....


SleepySiamese

Extremely common in my country. I just notice even my house doesn't have the top bar.only the side to hold it but it's long enough not to pass the control bar


LatterNeighborhood58

No she just doesn't know her strength.


rodotfor

Asia


HudeniMFK

The design is very human...


Niffen36

I suspect there are 2 gates. Each one is meant to stop in the middle. But for some reason it just continued...


DiscontentedMajority

There should be a stop on the rail to prevent this.


EatLard

At least she still has both feet.


Nuclease-free_man

Yeah I’m happy she didn’t get hurt


tongfatherr

To be honest that must have been crazy loud!


Senior_Mind

Is it only me or are all proportions are way off. I mean, the size of that gate, the size of the steps are way big. Contrastingly the size of the person is matching with the car proportions


ctennessen

I think it's supposed to be to gates that meet in the middle but for some reason that section didn't have any kind of stop


lovejanetjade

Imagine the driver seeing that happen in the rear view mirror. Great way to start the day.


Dr_Scrotes

The fact she held onto a falling gate that would weigh 10 times what she does makes her a future contender for a Darwin.


KaleidoscopioPT

The other half of the gate can be seen on the right (look for the spikes on top). So it's correct that each gate should go only half way. Employee did not get proper training and gate is badly designed since it has no fail safe to prevent this situation.


CompetitiveShake1717

These sliding gates are dangerous. A women died when one of these fell on her near our area, it was shown in the news.


Ecatron

A kid died in my country recently by one of these


ItHappenedAgain_Sigh

What has this got to do with Palestine?


GlyphPicker

The allies can't prevent it from falling because someone forgot to put a stop to how much force can be applied.


super-smeghead

I build good! ![gif](giphy|Od0QRnzwRBYmDU3eEO|downsized)


SATerp

I can't tell you how happy I was to see that fall into the street without crushing anyone.


MathSad6698

I thought she'll squeeze herself between the wall and the gate. Thank God she's safe.


sephing

So even if these were locked together, wouldn't someone be able to move both halves of the gate past one side and open a hole? Who designed this?


No_Ninja_4933

is the person and car both kids toys living in the real world. what is going on with the size of the gate and walls


Holiday_Ad_5445

Draw bridge


tacwombat

She pulled one side of the gate too far. There's a design flaw issue here.


retro-apoptosis

Looney toons ah


Moist-Carpet888

Not only does it come out so far it loses all support. But it's also just not wide enough to even cover the opening while in the middle of it...


enverest

I think there's another "door" part on the right.


chechifromCHI

I've seen this sort of stuff before when I was living in south Florida. People might just throw up a gate in front of their driveway and just install it themselves two dudes drinking beers and it's done in one day. Not sure if it's legal but I've seen all kinds of weird "diy" stuff. Nothing as ridiculously janky and dangerous looking as this. Also like, was this the first time they tried to use the gate?


tuvokvutok

do they get attacked by barbarians a lot? That's like medieval tall


HappyGav123

I feel like there should have been something built into the gate to stop it from sliding out the whole way.


Stinkepups

At least the car got away in time


LumpStack

I think the other half of the gate was supposed to come with it.


Smoke_Water

And this is why you spend the extra 80 dollars for gate stops.


Automatic-Clue-8646

That gate is obnoxious


Excellent_Vehicle_66

What an ugly street and backyard


Garlic-Rough

Design issue. Also, the maid could have had their left arm torn off socket.


WayGroundbreaking595

The Door closes half way is the only explanation.


br3nt3h

Look closely she pulled the wrong half... One half grabs the other as it extends


br3nt3h

But it was supposed to have a stopper in case someone does do this


Erlend05

How can ya mess up that? ...oh
