Say what? In the past we were taught a doorway was good because of the framing and joists around it could prevent falling ceiling debris from crushing you! Now it’s bad?
Never read that about a door way before—the part about a door swinging and injuring. Thanks for the post.
That's where I was during the October 17, 1989 quake - standing in a double doorway holding the swinging doors while two women stood on either side of me. No-one was injured.
