I cannot even begin to fathom that! I didn't even think that was possible!!!!!!! What could be causing that?!

Oh yeah, that'll leave a mark.

I used to have nightmares about that situation (sometimes still do). Now I know it can really happen!

faulty ratchet wheel, bad hold clear, no/bad snub contact motor/electrical burnout a lot of stuff is possible and more than likely more than one thing is wrong with that gate, ive seen video of some gates doing that but non as bad as this clip, thats just pass ridiculous.
also what nightmare did you have, a gate dropping on you. That happened to one of my friends luckily csx uses fiber glass gates and has slow snubs and lowing speeds, if it were union pacific i wouldnt be talking to my friend anymore or talking to him sitting in a bed not responding.

That's them POS WCH gate mechs for ya. Snubbing resistors always giving out...
