All of the gates that I've driven through have a sensor that raises the gate of a car or golf cart is going under it. If it's coming down and you rush through it, it will go back up.

Maybe some people are going through so fast that it doesn't have time to go back up.

But whatever is causing the problem, how about encasing the arms in foam, like a Nerf bat, and having them attached in a way that they can simply be reattached with any fuss. Kind of a breakaway gate.
