Automatic doors?
Find answers to your legal question.





Automatic doors?

Do other people find automatic doors that swing outwards into your face somewhat dangerous? My local hospital has these kind of glass doors and when you are approaching an entrance it is quite dangerous to have these big doors swing towards you. I just wonder if there have been accidents.
Additional Details
I was assuming normal healthy person's walking speed when approaching glass doors as there is no warning given and I feel there should be a sensor which bleeps to avoid nearly being hit by the opening edge of doors. My local chemist shop has just reversed these kind of doors because of people having to quickly move out of the way, which is not always possible.

best place to have an accident

I think it can be dangerous too. They need to put the sensors further away so you don't get close enough for them to hit you as you get closer.

Yes they are and they also have them in some banks.

Not the brightest of ideas, is it? Actually, our local A&E have just converted theirs to sliding, t'others were giving them more work!


answer it!
I think...its nto dangerous for ppl who are sensible....but for kids of small age...it might be! but automatic doors will always b opening towards one side! now it depends if u r going out or in...unless they have sliding in doors!!!..

never bumped into automatic doors...coz i do have a sense tht they will open...

besides they r slow enough wich cant hurt ppl badly....but only a small bump on ur head..wich wont pain..incase u bump into it!
lol!
it wud b funny!!! thou!!!


Just passing the time!
i agree, very dangerous, i have witnessed many children have accidents on such doors! if your walking towards they should open inwards, and have in and exit doors!..problem solved

If they just got rid of sliding doors altogether, it would save a lot of bother.

It's not exactly hard to open a door manually.

People usually use their eyes to look where they're going. Wouldn't be the hospitals fault if the person doesn't bother to use the common sense they were born with.
