FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A HUNTING CAMP OR DRIVES THROUGH GATES WHILE WORKING.


Most of us have to drive through access gates at some point of our driving careers.
We have had numerous incidents with gates swinging in the wind and hitting vehicles.
This guy caught a gate that was probably hidden by the tree line as he rounded the corner.

Share the following pictures as you see fit with your work groups.
Look at all four pictures to see how lucky this guy really was.

yeah, to get the gate that far through the vehicle, id think he was probably going quite a bit faster than he should have been for that particular area.

I may very well have stained the seat had that been my boys that close to peril.

That thing is too dangerous to not be cut up and shipped to china for scrap!
Holy crap, Me cubes be twitching!:eek:

It only looks like about30 MPH, the mass of the vehicle and where the gate hit was a one time thing it looks.
It went through the wheel well and through the dash board, around/under the steering columb, it looks.
