Few years ago waiting for exit gate to open, 3 times stopping half way then dropping back down. Fourth time, it shuttered, stopped then swung inwards falling in front of my car.

It was 4am, car behind me was CW, got out, he took a pick and moved the gate. I did ask if it fell on my car what would have happened. He laughed said even with me as a witness, I would probably get the “letter” and $250 bill.

Moral of the story, Don rush the gate if it falls on your car, the repair is on you.
