A British butcher who got locked in a freezer says he was saved by a frozen sausage that he used as a battering ram. Chris McCabe says he became trapped in the walk-in freezer at his shop in Totnes, southwest England, last month when wind blew the door shut. The safety button to open the door had frozen in the -20 C (-4 F) chill. McCabe told website Devon Live that he used the meaty tube "like a battering ram" and managed to unstick the button after several blows.

I guess you can’t beat his meat!..................

YOU might not be able to...

But HE sure did a hell of a job beating his own.

Other butchers claim that you can't beat their meat.
Come to my store, you can beat mine.

That sausage seems a little to firm and erect after being beaten against a fridge door, I call BS on this story

They must be able to latch shut, and since you open them from the outside that’s where the latch is.

Walk-in freezer at work is through the walk in cooler. I never shut the door when going in the freezer-I’d have a panic attack. The cooler’s safety mechanism is to dissemble the handle/latch from the inside. The beer cooler has a push handle inside. For awhile that was broken off. As one who closes alone , I was nervous until the chef fixed it!

The one time when beating your meat is actually good for you.

The freezer doors I knew in the 50’s had push rods on the inside that opened the door.
