Default has anyone ever gotten their leg smashed by the doors on the Z?

my buddy just got his leg smashed while sitting in my Z... we were sitting there on my drive way listening to some music. he had his right leg out the car for one reason, the door was open and since the drive way was at an up angle, a little gust of wind pushed the door shut and crushed his leg....

it was horrible because he screamed all loud and it sounded like it hurt bad..

i know those doors on those little honda civic sedans or camry's are very light weight, but the doors on our Z's are freaken heavy....


anyone else had their leg smashed?

My Ford Probe (daily driver) does this to me all the time. The stop on the Z doors is pretty good though.

I have not had my leg smashed but the doors on the Z seem very eager to close at times. I could only imagine how much that would hurt.

We do have some eager-to-open-and-close doors, don't we! I haven't gotten my leg smashed yet, but I have the long-leg-syndrome going on so at home in the garage, my entire energy while entering and exiting the Z is focused on holding the door tight so I don't smash it into the wall or our tC.
