How did they not see it? They were looking straight ahead from what I can see.
Probably looking at their smartphone.

Humans don't have superfast reaction speed and that metal gate could have been open on their prior trips through the area so they likely where on autopilot coupled with human reaction timing while at speed meant not enough time to course correct
