Because there isn't enough clearance.

Some Bish last night tried flying through a hanger against me last night in a desperate attempt to clear his six.  Sadly, he picked the hanger with no exit and I got the proxy.

Actually it's a very bad move even if you survive. The guy behind you does not have to fly though the hangar, just go over it.

Yes it is possible Midway, if you're a really good pilot. You're just need to try hard harder.
