Just a normal day activity of entering elevator. Then a boomer W rushed to catch the elevator. Then a boomer M was pressing close door. Maybe did not see someone is coming. The door closed on poor boomer W. I was too far in the elevator corner and blocked by people, cannot do anything. Just another day.

rarely ppl would get seriously hurt by a closing lift doors
or one could use that hand to push back that 'retractor' & the door will open

& what's the diff between a lift & an elevator
both w/ the same functions but former more commonly used in ard here :look:

Lift has many safety provisions and redundant switches.. likelihood of malfunction is less if maintained properly.. Also we need to use it carefully
