Your entire argument is an appeal to emotion as if logic should be ignored in this situation simply because "safety" when in reality someone would need to close their body part in a door four times in a row before they were even remotely at risk of being injured.

You followed that fallacy up with an ad hominem by claiming that I must be dumb because I don't blindly support your emotional argument about safety even though you have yet to explain how this is even unsafe in a real world scenario. My second paragraph highlighted similar scenarios where exceptionally special people might injure themselves by doing something idiotic and dangerous that no average person would ever do, yet we must still be warned about.

Care to take a crack at making an argument without relying on fallacies the whole time?
