Mark,
  If it fails it starts to flicker and will fail in one minute.  This is 
enough time for a platoon to run through the gate real fast.  Before it 
fails.  From this I use the following assumptions...  The relevant one is 
point 4).

  1) I check for failure for each use of the gate.
  2) When one figure passes through so do environmental effects like rain, 
wind, or snow.
  3) The gate closes behind each figure, requiring a new roll for the next 
character.
  4) If the rule on the gate only allows environment to pass through, and 
not characters, then the gate may opperate in an "always on" state.  This 
allows gates that provide fresh water, or cool winds from mountains.
  5) Changing the rule on a gate counts as one use, and requires a dice 
roll to check for gate failure.
