Sure it is possible for someone to intentionally bust through the gates, but I don't think that is common. I suspect the driver in the video was distracted.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The gates break away like other roadside structures. That is itended to prevent someone from getting killed, but I would think such collisions would easily do at least minor damage to a vehicle. </span></span></p>
