Physical harm 

You ever think about how weird it is to stick your arm between two large sheets of metal that are closing in order to get on an elevator?

Physical harm 

@vahnj Yes, I think about this a lot, and while I do not trust those sensors with the future possible functional capacity of my arm, I know that the motors they use to close the doors aren't powerful enough (by design) to cause me more than a nasty bruise if that sensor fails.

Even so, I avoid putting my hand all the way through just in case the worst possible thing happens; I just press on the side of the outer door. ^^;;;
