If you drive a golf cart you would see the gates are useful if for nothing else safety.
Have you seen cars drive though where the gates are down. Some dont even touch the brakes.
The design is bad because the is no counter balance on the arm. They would last much longer if the motor and gears did not have to lift the entire weight of the arm. An easy fix.
