Third Law of Motion [TSL][S1T5]

This is a revised version of my puzzle for Turn 5 of The Skunkworks League, hosted by damasosos92.
You can find a few introductory Recoil puzzles here and some other entries from the round here.
Recoil:
Starting from the diamond, draw a path that moves orthogonally through some cells without branching or intersecting itself.
Each time the path moves to a new cell, an obstacle is placed in the first available cell in the opposite direction. This cell may skip over gaps in the grid, other obstacles, or cells previously visited by the path. The path cannot move to a cell if there is no valid available cell for a corresponding obstacle.
All cells must either be used by the path or an obstacle.
