I just doored myself

I'd like to see you prove it. I have still images the in my head from a door ok, not "coming off" but snapping the door strap, bending the doorskin, front wind and pulling the 'A' pillar hinges out of line. If you can produce the correct mathematical calculations to prove my memory wrong fair enough

I think I proved that last night. 'narrow gap' and 'bruise in the thigh' should give you a clue that I hit the door with my thigh (hence the bruised thigh) and the door wasn't fully open (due to the narrow gap)

However if you want to try to prove me wrong I have the driver's phone number. I'm sure he won't mind you trying to repeat the experiment to see if you can take the door off yourself with your own thigh.

Of course a cyclist could break a car door if they were fast/heavy enough, and the door was fully open. But I don't think I would be sitting here typing this if that had been the case.

It is slightly annoying that nobody said 'shit, is your leg ok?' or 'you could have broken your leg!' except for the driver. No, the fact that I could have broken the car door is the important thing here
