Tragic School Gate Accident Highlights the Urgent Need for Proper Gate Safety

In a heartbreaking report by KGNS News, a young student lost her life after a gate fell on her at a school property. While the investigation continues, this devastating event underscores a critical issue: the importance of professionally installed and maintained gate systems.

🚪 Why Gate Safety Cannot Be Overlooked

Gates are often viewed as simple access-control barriers, but when poorly installed, improperly maintained, or lacking safety features, they can pose serious hazards. Common risk factors include:

• Unstable or poorly anchored gates

• Lack of safety stops or limit switches

• Manual gates used where automated, controlled systems are safer

• Inadequate inspection or maintenance

These risks can result in preventable accidents, injuries, or even fatalities, as this recent incident painfully illustrates.
