Slightly off topic, but the ones that make me wince are those glass
doors which are hinged at the top and bottom, and leave a small gap
when open which could easily take fingers.

I should think that car doors do far more damage. I had my finger trapped in
an Icelandic taxi and no-one inside could hear me pleading for the door to
be open. I was lucky they didn't drive off. You don't necessarily learn from
such an experience because other people shut the doors on you ...
