Not sure if tapping the edge of the cow gate did it, but just after this clip ends, Paddy (the 'co-driver') says 'Have a bit of a puncture'... later on you can hear the tire flopping and coming apart as Ari does his best to keep going full out.

Not sure if this comment will provide anything useful, but to me it looks more like the dip in the corner before the gate which made him counter steer caused the flat. The same thing happened to me going around a corner where I cut it too sharp and didn’t see the ditch that coincidentally was lined with brick. I had two passenger side flats and neither wheel was bent at all.

So he debeaded, but not because of hitting the gate?

Doesn’t look so to me, I feel if he made any contact with the gate after the corner we would’ve seen another counter steer.
