No mate, providing the waves arn't crashing over. I've only ever been chucked off once.

[Steve Bell]

Thanks. Next question how hard is it to get over the gate?

[Darnc]

I agree no problem getting round the gate on Shields Pier so long as you go round the South (beach) side. Just walk round the rocks. The gate man even opened the gate for me and my mate last week to get off. He told me they just shut the gates to keep the kids off in case of an accident.

Shields Pier gate is opened at 7.30am but you can easily climb around the gate if you get there earlier.
