automatic farm gate

this is an automatic gate that i invented that doesn't require any power or maintenance. the weight of the vehicle activates the gate to open it and it doesn't close until the vehicle is clear of the pressure pads. (please rate and comment)

Havnt had any troubles or complaints with it yet :) I acctually changed the bladder to a switch that turns a 12 volt pump on which works I little faster :p

A novel concept.

I have a few questions.

What happens when traveling in the other direction?

What happens if a second vehicle follows you through the gate?

If the bladder bursts is there a damper that prevent the gate from crashing down at full speed?

How do you walk through the gate or drive through on a motorbike or small vehicle?

Wouldn't a 600* exhaust pipe pop the blatter?
