Default Safety lites on gar. door opener

well if a lost kid happens to get trapped by your door ...


OK, let's consider this scenario a little...

A "lost" kid is going to wander by this particular farmstead that is
some several miles from any residential area or highway in an area that
is topographically flat and treeless to the point one can see telephone
poles clearly on the horizon in any direction 5 miles away and then once
having gotten here rather than approach the house is instead going to go
into a fully detached garage, locate the garage door opener button that
is at least 4-ft off the floor (probably close to 5-ft as it is mounted
about a foot above the light switch) so this poor unfortunate lost
tyke of a soul has to be a decent-sized/aged kid and open it then push
it and then deliberately go stand or lie down in its path and wait for
it to close on him/her.

OK, yeah, I'm worryin' now...
