Gate Safety Legislation///// boy killed by falling gate

[Country_Bookie]

A fabricator told me he uses 2 tracks in making sliding gates, one at the top and one at the bottom. Of course it limits ur ability to design a nice looking gate with arches, but he claims that it's much safer than the gates with just the track on the ground.
Anybody seen any of those gates with 2 tracks ?

[Team Loco]

build swing gates. talk done

but errbody want fancy automatic ting now

It have automatic swing gate

yeah i was wondering. it had auto swing gates before the single slide gates became popular

[Slartibartfast]

There are fancy arch gate with a two braces. The one at the top will just go behind the gate.

And yeah I agree with MG man. Saying it's bad parenting real harsh. When I was a child one of my aims were to tire out my parents to the point where I could get away with crap

[redrum]

Most quacks who fabricate these gates do not install a protection barrier on the front of the gate, so that when the rubber sliders wear out, the gate does not fall of track, I have also seen gates run completely off track because of the lack of support of a beam with some sort of latch/reinforcement at the end. Another thing why do people fabricate gates to weight close to a ton, only in third world countries they use solid iron..... Lack of future maintenance can also prevent the abuse that sliding a gate suffers, which eventually give away..... with worn wheel bearings, clogged wheel tracks,non greasing of wheels and not replacing them and non oiling of tracks. If you know that you have a faulty gate get it fixed immediately...

Clearly some pl in here never tried their hand and managing dem lil critters called kids

i kno dem as gremlins




but all dat aside, children from newborn to 6 need constant supervision. is all kinda ting they does be doin that would end their life quick fast in a hurry, & is because they don't know any better & curious. When they hit 7 you could relax a lil bit, but not a lot. yuh especially can't relax too much if they like to use the road to play games with friends, or to go visit friends homes up/down the street.



short story shorter, mothers & fathers, be mindful of the actions & locations of your offspring & we'll see less of these types of incidents

& invest a lil time & $$$ in a proper maintenance schedule for yuh house

after it built it doh maintain itself, daiz your wuk

Hadda get a leash for them

[desifemlove]

unfortunate, but to say 'bad parenting / is de mudda fault' etc is rather harsh and judgmental
Clearly some pl in here never tried their hand and managing dem lil critters called kids
I agree they could have had a better designed gate, and we take things like th is waaay too lightly, but to say is de chile mudda fault....harsh

not harsh, just fact......keeping a close eye is always possible, but then should be done as often as needed... most blame in these cases is parents, and little to faulty gates... and how can a gate fall? nobody needing PhDs in physics to put dat ting up...

[greggle71]

Some good ideas around build quality being posted, I have no problems with a code for gate construction. It will make us all safer.

[zoom rader]

How come sliding gates does only falk on injun and creole.

cos PNM does mess up QC on purpose to fall on lil indo chirren....

A man bring Politics in a non political chead.

I Hope the mods take note

[sliderz1]

Sufferers should stick to conventional swing gates..fed up see big tall gates with poor workmanship run on a single rail at the base with no guides

lol@ sufferer


huge gate for huge house

RIP

[88sins]

..fed up see big tall gates with poor workmanship run on a single rail at the base with no guides

if yuh fedup seein it, stop watchin it

Sufferers should stick to conventional swing gates

Dem "sufferer" gate as you call it are often a lot stronger & safer than the sliding gates ppl install today, can even be automated with actuators & they also open/close faster than the sliding version.

Sigh gates? Really? There are more concerning matters than that...

anyhow, glad this 16yr old younging was found safe! reasons for going missing remains unknown

look good to bool

[Spitfir3]

i probably wood tbh..

[nervewrecker]

I donno anything eh...

Here we go again

[Slartibartfast]

and another one bites the rust...

[DVSTT]

Rip. Thank God for electronic gates wei

[Morpheus]

Gates killing adults too oui...

Yet after all these incidents a lot of people still not going to check their gates eh

[pioneer]

Ban Dangerous Gates

[b14inb12]

The dangerous gate act ,,,,how can we stop the killing

[pioneer]

Time to protest outside parliament.


Call in the radio shows and say how dangerous these gates are.

[pugboy]

look like a non-motorized gate,
the accidents so far have been mostly motorized or non ?

[Morpheus]

Both types I think....

[shotta 20]

I does make sure n check my gate nearly every day. Make sure things tight and in order

[DVSTT]

I think they'd be mostly non motorised.
