It depends how precisely those frames have been constructed and how high and wide your handlebars are.

Generally the A frames are less awful than the host of other obstacles that are deliberately provided for our benefit, but I have come across ones that are slightly narrower than my handlebars placed half way down a steep slope. Even if they are wide enough for the handle bars they almost invariably involve bashing the shoulders.

At least someone here had the sense to remove a section of fence

Had the sense to not install a fence in the first place.

I was once cycling to work in Bristol and was astonished to see a guy, early 20's, riding a motorbike along the pavement with no reg plate and without crash helmet in broad daylight. He managed to get the motorbike through the barriers in Victoria park, south Bristol. In the same park, I was walking home when I saw a bloke loading some mini-motorbikes from over the park wall and into the back of a van while two kids in crash helmets stood beside him. Obviously a law abiding parent (NOT! ) letting his kids loose on motorbikes in a public park.

The Bristol to Bath Railway Path occasionally has dingbats on motorbikes on it:

Apologies for my swearing but i was once almost hit by a moron going full tilt on the Railway path riding a full size trials motorbike.
