| 2002 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | MY DAUGHTER'S FINGERS WERE CRUSHED IN MY PARENTS AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON THEIR 2002 OLDSMOBILE SILOUTTE MINIVAN. THE FINGERS BECAME LODGED ON THE INSIDE BACK OF THE DOOR AFTER SHE PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND REACHED BACK FOR HER SEATBELT. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, EITHER BY THE BUTTON OR THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. HER FINGERS REMAINED CAUGHT FOR 20 MINUTES WHILE WE WAITED FOR RESCUE. (911 WAS CALLED AND THEY SENT A FIRETRUCK OUT). LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO BROKEN BONES, AND THE EXTENT OF THE INJURY WAS SWELLING AND PAIN. BUT THE SUPPOSED "SAFETY" FEATURE THAT STOPS THE DOOR FROM CLOSING WHEN SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY DID NOT WORK. AFTER THE INCIDENT, UPON TESTING IT OUT, MY DAD HAD TO PUT A LOT OF BODY WEIGHT AGAINST THE DOOR TO STOP IT FROM OPENING. HIS ARM BEING IN THE WAY WAS NOT ENOUGH. CERTAINLY, A CHILD COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE DUE TO BEING CRUSHED IN A DOOR THAT DIDN'T STOP CLOSING.*AK |
