A swing gate (30) enables safe locking and unlocking of the gate (30) in the face of a beast (24) captured between rails (36, 38). The gate (30) has a pivot end (32) connected to the rail (36) by hinges (40) and a distal end (34) remote from the pivot end (32). The gate (30) includes a centre hinge (42) between the pivot end (32) and the distal end (34). The centre hinge (42) effectively divides the gate (30) into two sections, namely, a primary section (44) between the pivot end (32) and the centre hinge (42) and a safety section (46) between the centre hinge (42) and the distal end (34). When the beast (24) attacks the gate (30), the primary section (44) can swing open while the safety section (46) folds away to protect an operator (22).
