I didn't scream but I had to hold my foot in place because it was hanging down at a 90 degree angle. It hurt beyond belief.

When the paramedics got there I was shaking so violently that it freaked them out.

It all seemed surreal. I couldn't believe it was happening to me.

It fell on me. but only half. It meets in the middle. But, that half is approx 1500 lbs.

I was closing the gate. No electric opener. The gates rolls on a track and somehow it came off the track and landed on me. I was pinned under it,

Yikes dude, could have lived not reading about the angle of the dangle!

Somehow I've made it this far without breaking a bone, don't want that kind of pain at all!

Get better!

Had my foot twisted and crushed under a few hundred pounds when it got caught up in an extension cord at a sloppy construction site. Nothing broke that I know of. I skipped the hospital and settled for a few days of doing nothing at work and rights by my boss to do whatever I wanted because I didn't sue. At 19 or 20 those privileges were golden. Hope you get better soon. That sucks for real. And bomb Pro.

I missed this post and never could understand how a gate hurt wheel so badly but that's not a gate like anything I've ever seen. Thanks for bringing this back up.

I hope his lawyer took the dealership and the company that installed that dangerous piece of crap to the cleaners.

^^ I never even knew this happened?

I thought he broke his leg/ankle in a

motorcycle accident ?

Did the gate cause all his injuries?

or

Did he have two accidents?

I can't imagine being pinned under a 1,500 pound

gate...that is tramatic to say the least...
