Revolving doors scare me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACtW09PT7fY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACtW09PT7fY

  That looks like a fine example of sound safety engineering at work. All doors are risky in highly windy environments. My neighbor is missing several finger tips due to a wind-slammed door. I've also witnessed a sliding door dislodged from its tracks and tumbling down the street. In this video, the safety glass shattered as designed, leaving the man startled, but unharmed.

    From what I understand, it's actually a safety system malfunctioning. During a fire, the 4 doors are supposed to collapse together, to let people go straight through. For some reason, it tried to switch to fire mode with the guy still inside.

      Interesting... why would they collapse with that amount of force? It seems like it is collapsing awfully fast to be by design, not wind.
