Can we use the sawstop concept for metallic doors as well for home? If not how can we protect from door finger injuries?
Elevator doors already have safety devices that prevent them from injuring or decapitating people.
Here, for example, is a test device for verifying &quot;peak force, residual pinch force, energy, and velocity&quot;.
Now, if we think about the pinch hazard between a door near the door hinge and the frame on a heavy self-closing door, those things always give me the heebie-jeebies when I see delicate little child fingers near them. I'm not sure how you'd protect them- they're usually both aluminum or stainless steel so there's not much to detect but the resulting screams.
