Bangkok's urban railway stations - No place for fun

These "grippers" can be dangerous. I had to learn that a few days ago...

Normally you can pass them without any troubles. But beside some error once, so that I couldn't get through, it closed a bit too early another time. And that just when I wanted to pass through it side-ways - because I carried my camera bag on one side and the camera on the other. Almost at the "right" moment, it closed abruptly. I was hit, stuck in between, but gladly I had to realise that it missed target for just about a few millimeters. Otherwise maybe I never could have had my own kids. Well, as a child, growing up in this family of mine, I thought at times that maybe it might not be the best idea to reproduce myself. But later that wish just became too strong, so that I had to knock this idea out of my head. Anyways though, I never would have thought of the possibility to lose that ability after coming from a "sky train" in Bangkok.
