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 mean that if you enter a Stargate that's going the "wrong way", as in it's an incoming wormhole rather than an outgoing one, it just disintegrates you and sends you nowhere.

For example, in the SG-1 episode “A Hundred Days,” a Stargate is lying flat. A MALP probe emerges from it and immediately falls back into the receiving gate, destroying it.

    Ah, right. The puddle is there and nothing's stopping you from touching it, I guess. But you can't tell if it's an entrance or exit at a glance, I suppose they could have put some color or whatever that can be powered by the wormhole to tell the difference (unless you're colorblind).

    If I were Amelius designing these things I'd just make it impossible to enter the wrong way. Put up a force field, perhaps add a safety buffer that stores stuff that went in the wrong way so it can be spit back out again.
