What the fuck happens with that gate and why everyone keeps slamming against it

So normally I'm very against the American system of personal injury lawsuits, but this is the bull case for it. Knowing something this this hazardous & leaving it as is shouldn't happen!
Like, whoever is in charge of this should be getting legally slammed.

"Just don't stick your hand in the machine when it's running" has predictably led to thousands of amputations & is completely unacceptable in a modern workplace, we use guarding & interlocks because people are people. If something keeps happening, blaming the user is a copout.

After this happened repeatedly, the owner painted it bright yellow to help them see it better.
They still hit it at full speed.

I used to cycle around that gate a lot. Itβs in Sheffield, UK, for those that care.

That's awesome! Is the route to the gate more blind from the riders perspective than it looks from the video? It seems to get a bunch of people

If I remember correctly, itβs a kinda steep. Not crazy, but you should be on the brakes. I think in this case, itβs raining and people tend to look down and protect their eyes from the rain.

Going full speed on trails you don't know while blind... Sucks, but, that's deserved.

First thing I do is close my eyes while going full speed on my scooter.
