When I worked at CompUSA, our door greeter did pursue a shoplifter who pushed him down on the way out, resulting in a sprained wrist. They ended up firing him because the explicit policy was not to pursue shoplifters for the very reason that risk of injury is too high. I learned a lot of basic retail stuff at that job, like the fact that, for emergencies, all automatic sliding doors have to be capable of being pushed open. It seems like all the shoplifters knew it, there were a few times I saw someone bang straight on through them.
