We just weren't sure how to get in

My friend Amy and I went to help another friend move classrooms. On our way to her room we came upon this gate. We weren't quite sure how we were going to get to the other side...

Now that you see this picture I hope you can re-read that last comment that you now know was dripping with sarcasm.
I mean, I guess this gate would be good to keep babies who don't crawl in (or out) but other than that, what on earth is that gate good for? Really?
