I mean…

Historically you’ve never been able to close any door or trunk on any extremity without taking damage.

I’m not sure why this is news worthy. You wouldn’t close a door on your hand. And the front door of my house doesn’t have a safety feature to stop my hand from getting crushed. And it doesn’t need it.

Why is any of this a thing?!?
