All on film
Don’t worry, Community Watch has it all on film. They can help you with your claim. There are cameras at every gate and they operate 24/7

It could show the gate dropping down on the car and prove that the car didn't hit the gate?

It would also show if the driver attempted to follow the vehicle in front of him through the gate instead of waiting to activate the button when it became his turn. I'm certain each of us has seen that move take place.

Exactly my thinking.

He was ‘exiting’….there is no button to push….sounds like the proximity sensor malfunctioned

Gates just don’t fall off two 3 inch bolts hold them on. They are timed to closed so you can’t sit there and play cards Just saying

Those "3 inch bolts" are plastic.

Quite possible. Also possible he was “tailgating” and the sensor for the lead car told the arm to come down. The gate near the Pinellas plaza seems to do that sometimes.

Shear Bolt
Plastic or metal, they are designed to fail to prevent damage to the lifting mechanism. Also reduces damage to vehicles. They are traffic control arms, not vehicle barriers.

Or they were trying to exit on the back of another car. If that's the case then the repairs will be on the OP.
