"At Peter Abraham's workshop in Boulder, he explained how the Pulp Fiction shot was done. I hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone.

The left side of the fence was on a spring-loaded track. When the op got close to the fence, they released a latch that snapped the fence back in an instant, allowing him to "step through". They could then reset the fence, lock it in place, and do another take easily. But man, it is so close. Their timing must have been perfect. My guess is that the clothes hide the break in the top of the fence."

This is close to my assumption, that an assistant or two behind the camera was moving the fence apart at the perfect time after it fell out of frame. Didn't realize it was actually on a track and they were moving it that way.
