The Pole and Bam Paradox suppose a very fast runner (v = 0.600c) holding a long, horizontal

Question:

The Pole and Bam Paradox suppose a very fast runner (v = 0.600c) holding a long, horizontal pole runs through a barn open at both ends. The length of the pole (in its rest frame) is 6.00 m, and the length of the barn (in its rest frame) is 5.00 m. In the barn's reference frame, the pole will undergo length contraction and can all fit inside the barn at the same time. But in the runner's reference frame, the bam will undergo length contraction and the entire pole can never be entirely within the barn at any time! Explain the resolution of this paradox.
