So. I never watched the show in order until recently. Im on the late season 2 episode with the wormhole and I think I was scratching my head before with some other episodes as I thought it was two way. That episode finally made it clear it was one way. Also will add a mildly infuriating but do a community search for stargate does not bring up this community.

I think you're partially correct, but when the gate shuts off, it does sever things. Like in "The Torment of Tantalus" at the beginning and what happens to his air hose. So at that point there is one thing inside the gate.

I thought there was a reason they didn't want to just step through and wait for the gate to stop. But I can't recall.

    That's one of the things I'd add to the "the rules aren't really consistent"-list :D Or at that point rather, they haven't figured the rules out yet.

    In 38 minutes they explicitly say, that the front half simply "disappears". McKay even jokes about preferring that over dying in the vacuum of space.
