I was standing behind the vehicle putting something in the back and the rear lift gate just started closing on me. There was no safety mechanism to stop it so I had to duck real quick and get out of the way. This happened the beginning of the month and I still have a stiff neck from fighting the lift gate from closing. About 2 weeks ago they were loading tile in the rear of my Edge and again the rear lift gate started closing on him. I yelled at the guy to get out of the way or the lift gate will close on you. He quickly got out of the way before the lift gate closed on him. This is very dangerous since there is no safety mechanism to stop this from closing and someone could get seriously injured.
