When SWMBO and I were leaving home this AM (Late for where we were going
as usual.) I pulled the car out of the garage and pushed the button on
the door opener remote in the car.

We watched the door closing smoothly, but about rive inches from full
down it reversed direction and went back up. Another try produced the
same results.

We had about 8 inches of wet snow here in Red Sox Nation yesterday, so I
jumped out of the car and went looking for some snow or ice that the
door might be striking near the ground and reversing in response to
"overload."

I couldn't find spot like that. I tried adding my strength to the
opener's as the door was coming down by pushing downwards on the outside

If this would work, wouldn't it be a way to kill the neighbor boy and
make it look like an accident?


OK, I'll play along.

First, let's assume a couple of things:

1 - The downward force of a GDO might be enough to injure or even a kill
a very small child.
2 - The neighbor boy that one might want to kill is going to be older than
a very small child. I mean, the kid has to have done something one might
consider worthy of killing for, right? So, he's probably a teenager or
young adult.

All right, with those 2 assumption in play, is the downward force of a GDO,
even set at maximum downforce, enough to actually kill a teenager/young adult?
