Holy crap, what a chock THAT must have been. Like: “Yeeah… I’m totally gonna walk through this door without experiencing anything unexpected….. yeeah…. so far so gooOOOMfG!!”
The real question here is, what exactly caused this? I’ve watched this over and over and can’t really tell what happened to cause the two sections of the door to come together like that.
There is a person outside that tries to walk in the wrong way, causing the doors to sandwich the guy. Once it happens, the guy outside jumps back in shock and then walks away.
However, in the words of a young Eric Cartman, it’s a man’s obligation to stick his boneration in a women’s separation; this sort of penetration will increase the population of the younger generation.
I always knew it as, “it’s a man’s occupation, and his destination, up a woman’s ventilation to increase the population. I got this information from the board of education, if you want a demonstration, open up your legs.”

Ooooooo…now i get it. the first tiem i watched this, i didnt know wat hapend. then i watched it a 2nd tiem, and saw that ther waz a guy walking in tha rong way. thanks for explaining!
It had to have been the wind. There was no guy coming in the wrong way. If you look through the windows, the “guy” just appears there. It is his reflection. After the glass breaks, it disappears. Then a guy next to him’s reflection shows up on the other window.
that doesnt explain the accelerated motion of the door, if u look closely the door is wobbling at first and the the guy with the bag uses magic to slam the doors into his victom. he moves his bag and the door is pushed by his megnetic power… P.S. and yes, i am a nerd
Yep its definately the wind because there are little white things on the ground that go shooting back after the door brakes. Im pretty sure a guy who supposedly walks in going the wrong direction wasn’t carrying a leaf blower as well…
“little white things” OBSERVATION FAIL!
that’s glass, dumbass(lol sorry for calling you that, I just had to ryme, it’s simply what I do to pass the time(that was totally intentional))
At the very end you can see a gust of wind come in and blow the carpet up a smidge. I wonder if it could have been a HUGE gust that caused the original fail.
yeah, i guess if the wind was blowing in a direction exactly perpendicular to the entrance of the building. i’d just imagine other buildings would be in the way. but, i guess i’d imagine that a revolving door couldn’t do that, so what do i know?
Nope, look at it carefully, and see the guy from the outside tried to walk in the wrong way. That’s what caused it. When the glass broke…then the wind came in…it would not be strong enough to do damage like that.
Wind can be EXTREMELY strong, especially in certain cities. In fact, it would probably be much easier for wind, as a collective force, to push the door back that much than it would be for any man. THOUGH, if the wind were that strong and blowing in the opposite direction of the door, we should’ve seen that the door was already slowing and even turning the other way by the time the guy got to it. So we can’t really be sure. I’m just wondering if the guy was okay. Those pieces of glass looked TINY and the guy looked really hurt. It would be easily possible for glass to have gotten in the guy’s eyes and I’m just hoping he made it out okay.
Haha! Huge (no pun intended) WIN for using ‘baleen’. I mean… honestly, how could you know that word? Do you study the dictionary in your spare time? I’m blown (again, not intended) away!
I wondered the same thing, so I watched it several times. It looks like a huge gust of wind blew one door back toward the inside, causing the door to try to eat the poor guy inside.
Hope he wasn’t hurt too badly — it looked like he may have gotten glass in his eyes, from the way he was holding his hands on his eyes as he went over to the desk.
Thankfully, it looks like the glass panels of the door were made of tempered glass (also used in the side and rear windows of automobiles), which breaks into small chunks rather than long shards.
Just before the doors snap together, someone walks up to the other side (entrance). It looks like they put their may have put their hand on the door. And they back away (did I do that?) after whatever happened happened.
I wondered the same thing, so I watched it several times. Looks like a huge gust of wind blew the one door back toward the inside, making a sandwich out of the poor guy inside the door.
I hope he’s not too badly hurt. It looked like he may have gotten some glass in his eyes, from the way he was holding his hands over his eyes as he moved to the desk.
I love your attacks on poor grammar, but really, there’s no need to be a dialect snob.
The key is the overlap between the Possessive use of have and the Perfect use of have, plus the fact that one of the senses of get is come to have. If one has come to have a cold, for instance, then one has a cold, and the AmE usage of has got means that one is currently infested, due to the present relevance aspect of the Perfect. This is so common that kids regularly use got without have or even -’ve to mean have, and young kids even think it’s the regular verb for possession, as witness such constructions as He “gots new shoes.”
Faced with the overwhelming interpretation of (ha)ve got as simply have, AmE has innovated a new past participle gotten to be used whenever other, non-possessive forms of get are intended.
If one is simply speaking of the acquisition of something, for instance, rather than the current possession, one says I’ve gotten ….. in AmE since I’ve got implies that one still has it, and therefore focuses on the current Possession rather than the Perfective acquisition. And all of the idiomatic uses of get, like the get-Passive of get married, the Inchoative become/come to be inherent in get tired, the Concessive of get to go, etc. use gotten as their participle. Whereas any construction, even an idiomatic one like have to (= must) where one can use have equally well, use got as the participle.
Wow. I didn’t know all that technical stuff, even though I’m an editor. I just knew that we often say “I got my hair cut” or “I got glass in my eyes when the doors shattered.” Taking the “I got” into a third person “he got” but with some uncertainty, I ended up with “he may have gotten.”
What caused it is the emergency exit functionality of the powered revolving door (was discussed on one of the other sites where I saw this video). The 4 panels of the door are supposed to lock open so that people can freely pass by on either side to get out. Or in, I guess. I doubt it’s supposed to eat people in the process though.
Here’s one explanation: http://www.answers.com/topic/revolving-door
If the url doesn’t go through, do a search for “revolving door panic collapsing mechanism” and find your answers (dot com).
probably the guy from teh outside pushing on the door…just a thought, nothing to back that up…thats generally how automatic doors generally work, emergency mode is triggered by pushing on them…but broken glass at a bottleneck doesn’t seem very safe
To me that sounds like a manual system, that there is no button you press to make it happen, you just push hard on the panel and it will swing out of the way. which is what seems to have happend here, the wind pushed on both sides and collapsed them on the man.
The door was hungry… and that guy just happened to be the unfortunate. Tomorrow we will see an article about how he was digested by tiny glass monsters…
>.>
<.<
If you watch the outside of the building you can see a person come up to the door from the left and attempt to go THE WRONG WAY through the door (which prolly put tension on the panel /frames) and then just after the crash you can see the dude/ette through the front glass step out and to the right of the door. Very much design fail…
If you look at the point where the guy walks through the sliding door there is a man on the other side of the door who tries to walk through at the same time in the opposite direction of the guy on the side of the camera. So you see the glass doors going like this >< crash. The guy outside the building jumps out of the way and is standing on the right side looking before he leaves.
Really? You’ve watched this over and over, and you didn’t see the guy on the outside try to get in by forcing the door the wrong way and into the guys face? YOU FAIL!!!!
dude, he barely touched it! have you ever used a revolving door? you have to practically throw yourself at it just to speed it up, and i know from personal experience that moving it in the wrong direction is really hard(trying to hold door for a stroller+lady). the amount of pressure that would take is more than he could of applied with one hand.
If you watch the video, a pedestrian from the street walks into the door in the opposite direction of the man walking through causing the doors to collapse and the window to break He then stops to look through the window to see what he’s done in the top left corner of the screen and then runs away.
Are you referring to Chaka from the Sid & Marty Kroft’s “Land of the Lost?” Is this a new term applied when things go inexplicably wrong? You could usually blame a Gremlin for malfunctions. Apparently you can now call out Chaka.
“What went wrong with my car?”
“Bro, I don’t know… I’m so chocked!” “That’s pretty chocking dude!”
Chaka… putting the chock in shock since 1974!”
I suppose if you were getting cheated by a shady salesman you can now say, “I got sleesed by that Sleestak sucka!”
Is that a 2×4 on the floor after the door breaks? It looks like the door in front of the guy moved backwards while the one behind kept turning normally, which sandwiched him. I’m wondering if the front door pane moved backwards and broke because somebody threw a 2×4 into it.
Yea, the 2×4 was a part of the door frame that hit him in the back. You can see it disconnect and fall right across from him. No one really caused this. It seems like the one section of the door came off the track and fell onto the reverse track, which apparently was moving very fast. That is just really bad luck. The two seconds of the entire day that this could have happened was the very moment this guy walked in.
Not to mention the chance that he would be in the exact slot that would glitch out like that. Poor guy!
No way man! I was like turning slowly, and this dude got in, and then i don’t remember anything. I woke up the next day in hospital, and the doctor says i can’t skateboard for a week… downer
Well, dude… I couldn’t grind my mom… She’s like in her early sixties…
Which is sweet… Long live experience….
… But it’s more like you mom is attacking me, rather than the doors… But, no… I say! You took what I said out of context! You… You… Door molester!
Yeah… Pretty much… It was fun to have your attention for a while actually, never thought I’d manage to tease anyone… And I didn’t seem to get to you at least… Can’t say the same to the guy below me…
Well, she would at least turn in her grave, I’ll admit that… But I’ll come back when the alcohol wears out…
Strange that I haven’t had anything to drink though…
I’ve watched this a few times to try to figure out what happened. It looks like the door infront of him swung back towards him and the other one kept going.

Looked to me like a wind gust blew the front panel back on the dude. Probably the panel was loose too. You can see the mat on the floor blow back in the wind after the door is broken.
HOLY F**K! Thats AMAZING! That door actually was all like “WAIT A MINUTE! I’M SICK OF THIS S**T, ALL REVOLVING ALL DAY!!! SCREW YOU!!”
And BAM!
It LOOKS like the door section in front of the guy just got stuck and the other door kept going and the force of the guy stopping the door behind him and being pushed into the door in front of him caused the frame to break and the glas to shatter.
Type the word blockquote before a > and after a and after a <.
(It’s hard to give these instructions, as Guy Yonder has illustrated, because the natural way would be to say put blockquote after a < and before that other one that faces the opposite way … but anything you type here in between those two symbols in that order [i.e., "<" followed by the other one] will not actually print on these comment panels.
As part of an emergency panic function revolving doors are supposed to fold up so people can escape, ie fire. This works like a panic bar (the bar you have to push) on exit doors. On some models of revolving doors when a back up occurs and people start to push on the doors they will fold up. I am guessing that the door was either pushed by person or a strong gust of wind that made the doors start to fold up. This action would have come from the outside. This caused the doors to fold up on the man that was “revolving” in said doors. The crashing of the glass looks like it occured when the door struck the man. The glass looks as though it is tempered. You can break tempered glass with a small strike, like a spring loaded center punch, pretty easily. As far as an example of panic type doors check out your local supermarket that has sliding glass doors. If you go into the vestibule and psuh out on the door the door sortof slides out of the track and outward to facilitate escape. In accuality the door doesn’t come out of track and can be easily put back into place during accidental bumping, like if a shopping cart hits it or something. The video was pretty neat though as an example of collapsing doors and what would happen if you are on the wrong side of it.
There’s a whole series of these sick little “Mommy, mommy” jokes. Fuzz has actually de-crueled this one down a bit — the original version concludes, “Shut up, or I’ll nail your other foot to the floor!”
If you continue to watch you’ll note that the door will sometimes jerk. It appears as though the mechanism which operates the doors, was not fully connected to all the doors.
WOW ! whoever said someone tried to go in the wrong way, was right, look at the guy walking up on the left hand side, he pushes the door the wrong way causing it to go OMGFZOMG!!! and then the guy all covered in glasticles and THEN the guy outide looks through the window payne AND walks off!!!
It looks like the wind may have caught the panel in front of him. As soon as the chamber in front opens to the outside the panel in front of him moves back violently.
I’m pretty sure this is fake, just because of how the glass breaks. Special effects glass shatters completely like that, but real glass comes out in chunks and pieces.
It’s just Obviously and Totally Faked, Photo Shop’ed and everyone is an actor!
It was made by a dude’s Mom who’s cousin’s dentist I know, who was trying to get governmental funding for a combination Nude Skate Board Park & Daycare Facility for Seniors.
BUT… really now, get really real!
Probably it was an Inside Job by the NSA, Dick Cheney and his Rich Oil Robber Baron Friends in cahoots with the TriLateral Commision and The Easter Bunny.
Some dude tried to come in from outside, you can see him enter the door coming in from the left (0:20). Then he apparently pushed hard on the door going the wrong way. When the door EXPLODES, he backs off quickly, stands to the right of the door (0:23), and pauses there until (0:27). Then he walks over to the left to look inside (0:37)… then he backs away (0:40) and goes out of the frame.
This clip would be greatly enhanced by adding some foley sound, and voiceover dialog – for instance I’d preamble the crash with some conversation among the group about how cool revolving doors are… and dub in the guy who got eaten by the door yelling “My EYES! My EYES!!! I can’t SEE! Oh my god my eyes are bleeding! Someone help me! help! HELLLLLP! Oh for the love of Regis and Kelly my face is slashed to ribbons!”
I don’t think the guy was pushing from the wrong side, because, one, as it’s flying inward, nobody’s arms are visible that would be pushing from the other side, and two, it’s not just that panel that’s going the wrong way, there’s one from the other side, on the left side of the door. I think the guy outside was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and just jumped back in shock at the door exploding. It doesn’t look to me like it was his fault. And it doesn’t look like he was terribly affected by any huge gust of wind that would have been necessary to blow the doors in. I think eating random people is just a built-in feature of that door.
Also, watch the woman who goes through the door before him look back, pull something out of her bag, pause at the entrance of the door, then walk away hurriedly.
I will do that. I will also be looked for comment where poster, who obviously have no idea of the grammatical application of word tense in speech or writing, make him/herself look like stupidhead.
My personal favorite is that the receptionist looks like she’s practically pissing her pants laughing. It looks like she’s trying to cover it, but it’s pretty obvious she can’t help herself.
Quote from a firefighter’s manual about revolving doors:
”
COLLAPSE MECHANISMS
OF REVOLVING DOORS
ā¢ Panic-proof type ā Is triggered by forces pushing in
opposite directions on the quadrants
ā¢ Drop-arm type ā Is collapsed by pressing the pawl to
disengage the arm, then pushing the quadrant to one side
ā¢ Metal-braced type ā Is collapsed by lifting the āgate
hookā assembly and fastening it back against the fixed
quadrant; hooks are located on both sides of the
quadrant”
That one appears to be of the first type, probably it was the **** we see approaching the door from the outside that made this happen.
He pulled his umbrella out with his right hand as he entered the door and got the handle caught between the door and the frame.
As the door tried to rotate, the tension shattered the glass.
the explanation have been given in another site
it’s simply the emergency system going crazy
it makes the 4 doors into 1 for people to run out of here faster in case of fire
There is a women walking into the wrong way of the door. If this door has a motor going 1 direction. She must of pushed on the glass caused the motor to over power the door and push the other doors together.
The universe is not just laughing at you, it is laughing behind your back.
You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here, & whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.
-Deteriorata
obviously its very cold outside, which makes the glass more dense and therefore, weaker. the gust of air outside causes the doors to blow together, sandwiching the man and breaking the glass
I know I’m repeating myself, but watch closely, the woman who we first see entering the elevator looks back to see who’s behind her, then grabs something from her purse, looks back again just before she leaves the elevator, and pauses for a second, perhaps placing something to help jam the door, then walks away.
As this is happening a man outdoors approaches, moving left to right, and kneels forward into the revolving doorway, as if to place something else in the doorway, then continues on his way just as the door collapses.
In my opinion, the guy who gets creamed is in on it too, which is why he waited so long before entering the doorway. Probably an insurance scam, though that looked pretty painful, but some people hate their jobs that much.
I’m typing Japanese (in roman letters).
The first post means, “My Japanese isn’t strong [literally: 'As for Japanese, being strength there isn't.'] I’ve forgotten everything.”
The second post means, “That’s wrong [literally: 'It's
different (the Japanese are very polite, even when they're
telling someone something's wrong)].”
I’m sorry, but your totally off. The lady is putting something up. Person B walked the opposing way of Person A, pushing on the panel/door. In turn, the half with the two occupied panels dramatically slowed and the vacant panels kept going at the same rate, quickly catching up with the former.
At first, I thought that this was the proof that Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.
But then I realized that this guy didn’t slam the door, but the revolving door slammed HIM.
This happened in Belgium, in a building of a bank named Dexia. It was on the news the other day and appeared to be a video held back by the bank for a few years. It was indeed a ‘feature’ in case anyone would get stuck. The guy who got slammed in between appeared to only have a few scratches but no major injuries.
Incredible, the troll’s lack of self-awareness must explain their lack of original thought and thus their need to validate thier existance through attempts to ridicule and discredit others. This is truly fascinating and requires futher study.
Incredible, your vain attempt to insult me and thus discredit me and make yourself feel big for the first time in your life resulted in a reply fail, and the misspelling of the word ‘further’! . This is truly fascinating and requires further study.
On some of the revolving doors theres a button that althoughs them to fold up and open completly… My guess is the guy was just unlucky enough to walk through as it folded, causing the glass to shatter…
can someone please arrest this man (or woman) for improper use of the English language?

indeed. i need to know what happened.
I guess the wind blew one of the flaps backwards or something…
Really? lol, kinda unlikely
There is a person outside that tries to walk in the wrong way, causing the doors to sandwich the guy. Once it happens, the guy outside jumps back in shock and then walks away.

It had to have been the wind. There was no guy coming in the wrong way. If you look through the windows, the “guy” just appears there. It is his reflection. After the glass breaks, it disappears. Then a guy next to him’s reflection shows up on the other window.
The wind, his reflection? Are you kidding me? Look at it for the 10th time.
that doesnt explain the accelerated motion of the door, if u look closely the door is wobbling at first and the the guy with the bag uses magic to slam the doors into his victom. he moves his bag and the door is pushed by his megnetic power… P.S. and yes, i am a nerd
put it seems the door speeds up aswell
Yep its definately the wind because there are little white things on the ground that go shooting back after the door brakes. Im pretty sure a guy who supposedly walks in going the wrong direction wasn’t carrying a leaf blower as well…
You’re right, it was a windmill he had.
“little white things” OBSERVATION FAIL!
that’s glass, dumbass(lol sorry for calling you that, I just had to ryme, it’s simply what I do to pass the time(that was totally intentional))

yeah, i guess if the wind was blowing in a direction exactly perpendicular to the entrance of the building. i’d just imagine other buildings would be in the way. but, i guess i’d imagine that a revolving door couldn’t do that, so what do i know?
could be the wind was channeled by buildings…
But watch the people outside, it was huge enough you think the would’ve reacted more strongly
Nope, look at it carefully, and see the guy from the outside tried to walk in the wrong way. That’s what caused it. When the glass broke…then the wind came in…it would not be strong enough to do damage like that.
Wind can be EXTREMELY strong, especially in certain cities. In fact, it would probably be much easier for wind, as a collective force, to push the door back that much than it would be for any man. THOUGH, if the wind were that strong and blowing in the opposite direction of the door, we should’ve seen that the door was already slowing and even turning the other way by the time the guy got to it. So we can’t really be sure. I’m just wondering if the guy was okay. Those pieces of glass looked TINY and the guy looked really hurt. It would be easily possible for glass to have gotten in the guy’s eyes and I’m just hoping he made it out okay.

4 sectiosn of the door.. not just 2 idiot
Looks like just 1 idiot to me. (See above.)
(Also, see below.)
Awwww… I’m an idiot?
Nope I is
4 sections of the door. not just 2 idiot.
you only need to post your comment once, you bigger idiot.
He was correcting the first guy, you biggest idiot.
You guys are all idiots, he was referring to the TWO sections of the door that came together…
So, wait, which one is the idiot?
I count 3 sections that all came together and ate him. The fourth panel tried to get as far away from him as possible.
“I count 3 sections that all came together and ate him.”
Lol.
Lolz. You’re AWESOME
Nom.
The third section is the idiot. Case closed.
not the same person, you biggest idiot.
Will NO ONE call me the biggest idiot? *sobs*
lol no
No. Fat jokes are out of fashion. Try again later. Fashions change quickly.

*brings out popcorn, settles on couch to watch*
I brought the ginger ale!

I brought Powerthirst!
*sits next to Dragonwriter and makes 400 babies*
So. Do. I.
Please tell me you remembered to scotchguard the couch?
This is awkward enough already without your help Dan, k thxbai.
Ahem. I seem to have been insulted.
*settles between Dragonwriter and Insanus and takes a sip of gingerale, having no need to make 400 babies*
What are we watching?
An ass.
(Not an asse.)
An ass who is about to be on fire, in fact.
Everyone got their marshmallows handy??
Sooooooo what are we waiting for? Don’t expect me to do 400 babies so fast, so just go on, I will catch you all after.

That’s bright.
oooo look, grey snow!
I am surprised and confused by your accusation.
Stab him with your marshmallow skewer. You will feel better.
And make sure to make a video so we will all feel better as well. Incidentally, Sara: Ye don’t count as just one idiot anymore

Even through the uterine wall, I’ve got enough strength to take you down, bitches.
haha, you guys are funny!
*chuckle, chuckle*
it looks like each glass panel is separately motorized. so if one rotates the other way the others dont respond
poor engineering IMO
I wondered the same thing, so I watched it several times. It looks like a huge gust of wind blew one door back toward the inside, causing the door to try to eat the poor guy inside.
Hope he wasn’t hurt too badly — it looked like he may have gotten glass in his eyes, from the way he was holding his hands on his eyes as he went over to the desk.
Thankfully, it looks like the glass panels of the door were made of tempered glass (also used in the side and rear windows of automobiles), which breaks into small chunks rather than long shards.
It was not the wind. It was the guy from outside trying to get in the wrong way.
Just before the doors snap together, someone walks up to the other side (entrance). It looks like they put their may have put their hand on the door. And they back away (did I do that?) after whatever happened happened.
Remove the first “put their”.

You commented this twice, then I’ll respond twice. It’s not the wind! It’s the idiot walking in the wrong way from outside.

Chalk another one up for the Grammar Police
I love your attacks on poor grammar, but really, there’s no need to be a dialect snob.
The key is the overlap between the Possessive use of have and the Perfect use of have, plus the fact that one of the senses of get is come to have. If one has come to have a cold, for instance, then one has a cold, and the AmE usage of has got means that one is currently infested, due to the present relevance aspect of the Perfect. This is so common that kids regularly use got without have or even -’ve to mean have, and young kids even think it’s the regular verb for possession, as witness such constructions as He “gots new shoes.”
Faced with the overwhelming interpretation of (ha)ve got as simply have, AmE has innovated a new past participle gotten to be used whenever other, non-possessive forms of get are intended.
If one is simply speaking of the acquisition of something, for instance, rather than the current possession, one says I’ve gotten ….. in AmE since I’ve got implies that one still has it, and therefore focuses on the current Possession rather than the Perfective acquisition. And all of the idiomatic uses of get, like the get-Passive of get married, the Inchoative become/come to be inherent in get tired, the Concessive of get to go, etc. use gotten as their participle. Whereas any construction, even an idiomatic one like have to (= must) where one can use have equally well, use got as the participle.
Hehe, did you get that from wikipedia, orjust copy your dad’s encyclopedia?
Wow. I didn’t know all that technical stuff, even though I’m an editor. I just knew that we often say “I got my hair cut” or “I got glass in my eyes when the doors shattered.” Taking the “I got” into a third person “he got” but with some uncertainty, I ended up with “he may have gotten.”
Savvy, love?
By the looks of it, someone outside tried to come in through the doors THE WRONG WAY just as the one guy was exiting. SMASH!
Your totally right. Didn’t notice until you pointed it out.
Her totally right WHAT?? Arm? Leg? Brain??
I think he’s referring to K’s pointed part. Though I don’t know why he didn’t notice it before. It’s like, so out there.

K, is this in Buffalo?
lol Buffalo NY? near lmao Rochester?
What caused it is the emergency exit functionality of the powered revolving door (was discussed on one of the other sites where I saw this video). The 4 panels of the door are supposed to lock open so that people can freely pass by on either side to get out. Or in, I guess. I doubt it’s supposed to eat people in the process though.
Here’s one explanation:
http://www.answers.com/topic/revolving-door
If the url doesn’t go through, do a search for “revolving door panic collapsing mechanism” and find your answers (dot com).
that seems more likely then a the wind explanation.
That makes a lot of sense, but what triggered the emergency exit function?
Very bad body odor.
probably the guy from teh outside pushing on the door…just a thought, nothing to back that up…thats generally how automatic doors generally work, emergency mode is triggered by pushing on them…but broken glass at a bottleneck doesn’t seem very safe
Actually, safety glass breaking is safer than, say, crushing the guy into 2 dimensions.
“thats generally how automatic doors generally work”?
nice grammar, osoket… *snickers* you bloody FOOL!
To me that sounds like a manual system, that there is no button you press to make it happen, you just push hard on the panel and it will swing out of the way. which is what seems to have happend here, the wind pushed on both sides and collapsed them on the man.
Wow. Thank you, an actually realistic explanation. I’m so going to have a permanent phobia of revolving doors from now on.
Wrong! It’s the force from the idiot who tried to walk in from outside on the wrong side of the door.
What force? The guy barely fucking touched the handle, and the doors slammed shut like a rabid, famished Craftmatic Adjustable bed.
Look up “revolving door panic collapsing mechanism” and you’ll find your answer. (I tried to post a url with the answer but it didn’t go through.)
Revolving doors are supposed to be able to do this. I didn’t know they’re supposed to do it with people in there though.
The door was hungry… and that guy just happened to be the unfortunate. Tomorrow we will see an article about how he was digested by tiny glass monsters…
>.>
<.<
maybe because to many people stood on the button and the door twisted to fast because of overwheigt on the button…
I have almost an exact replica of this in a picture I took after a tornado hit Atlanta, GA earlier this year.
here’s a picture:
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p149/dmsohyea/tornado/IMG_0093.jpg
When they are going out someone tries to enter the building and pushes the door in the wrong direction…
The doors was hungry.. XD
If you watch the outside of the building you can see a person come up to the door from the left and attempt to go THE WRONG WAY through the door (which prolly put tension on the panel /frames) and then just after the crash you can see the dude/ette through the front glass step out and to the right of the door. Very much design fail…
A person tried to come in going the wrong direction. You can see them looking in the window and then running away after the door breaks.
If you look at the point where the guy walks through the sliding door there is a man on the other side of the door who tries to walk through at the same time in the opposite direction of the guy on the side of the camera. So you see the glass doors going like this >< crash. The guy outside the building jumps out of the way and is standing on the right side looking before he leaves.
idiot. that guy not you.
Really? You’ve watched this over and over, and you didn’t see the guy on the outside try to get in by forcing the door the wrong way and into the guys face? YOU FAIL!!!!
dude, he barely touched it! have you ever used a revolving door? you have to practically throw yourself at it just to speed it up, and i know from personal experience that moving it in the wrong direction is really hard(trying to hold door for a stroller+lady). the amount of pressure that would take is more than he could of applied with one hand.
caused by the wind.
If you watch the video, a pedestrian from the street walks into the door in the opposite direction of the man walking through causing the doors to collapse and the window to break He then stops to look through the window to see what he’s done in the top left corner of the screen and then runs away.
Typing fail. I’m shocked! :p

Is that a 2×4 on the floor after the door breaks? It looks like the door in front of the guy moved backwards while the one behind kept turning normally, which sandwiched him. I’m wondering if the front door pane moved backwards and broke because somebody threw a 2×4 into it.
Yea, the 2×4 was a part of the door frame that hit him in the back. You can see it disconnect and fall right across from him. No one really caused this. It seems like the one section of the door came off the track and fell onto the reverse track, which apparently was moving very fast. That is just really bad luck. The two seconds of the entire day that this could have happened was the very moment this guy walked in.
Not to mention the chance that he would be in the exact slot that would glitch out like that. Poor guy!
Nah that’s the metal part of the door that breaks in 1/2 when the glass falls out.
no, it’s a part of the door.
I swear the door planned it all along
No way man! I was like turning slowly, and this dude got in, and then i don’t remember anything. I woke up the next day in hospital, and the doctor says i can’t skateboard for a week… downer
Safety glass has a temper…
I saw what you did here.
Probably turned you on, too.
As if my giant erection didn’t give it away.

When doors attack…
…I’m doing it with your mom…
You’re being attacked by doors with my mom?
Well, dude… I couldn’t grind my mom… She’s like in her early sixties…
Which is sweet… Long live experience….
… But it’s more like you mom is attacking me, rather than the doors… But, no… I say! You took what I said out of context! You… You… Door molester!
Are you finished yet?
Wait until he washes his hands.
Yeah…
Pretty much… It was fun to have your attention for a while actually, never thought I’d manage to tease anyone… And I didn’t seem to get to you at least… Can’t say the same to the guy below me…
You have a guy below you? Ohhhhh, Killer’s gonna be soooo jealous.

hey… why cant i breath? haha, tingly, like that time i ate a whole bunch of live red ants…
I’ve watched this a few times to try to figure out what happened. It looks like the door infront of him swung back towards him and the other one kept going.

Yeah, what the hell happened? The entire door pretty much folded up around the axis, centered on the poor sod.
as far as I can tell, the door in front of the poor guy stopped moving, thus leaving him in a glass sandwich of pain.
Really weird, maybe a REALLY strong wind made the door turn into itself?
Some jackass tried to come in the revolving door going the wrong direction.
Looked to me like a wind gust blew the front panel back on the dude. Probably the panel was loose too. You can see the mat on the floor blow back in the wind after the door is broken.
Looks like maybe there was a major wind that came up and shot the front door back at him? The rug on the carpet is moving because of the wind after.
But ya, totally looks like it ate him!
a major wind came up your mom.

It LOOKS like the door section in front of the guy just got stuck and the other door kept going and the force of the guy stopping the door behind him and being pushed into the door in front of him caused the frame to break and the glas to shatter.

As part of an emergency panic function revolving doors are supposed to fold up so people can escape, ie fire. This works like a panic bar (the bar you have to push) on exit doors. On some models of revolving doors when a back up occurs and people start to push on the doors they will fold up. I am guessing that the door was either pushed by person or a strong gust of wind that made the doors start to fold up. This action would have come from the outside. This caused the doors to fold up on the man that was “revolving” in said doors. The crashing of the glass looks like it occured when the door struck the man. The glass looks as though it is tempered. You can break tempered glass with a small strike, like a spring loaded center punch, pretty easily. As far as an example of panic type doors check out your local supermarket that has sliding glass doors. If you go into the vestibule and psuh out on the door the door sortof slides out of the track and outward to facilitate escape. In accuality the door doesn’t come out of track and can be easily put back into place during accidental bumping, like if a shopping cart hits it or something. The video was pretty neat though as an example of collapsing doors and what would happen if you are on the wrong side of it.

I just hope the dude isn’t permanently blind form all the glass he must’ve caught in the face. Who ever heard of getting a money shot from a door?

That’s like a nightmare coming true. Might as well be eaten by a clown.
If there’s a clown in a revolving door, run!
…around and around…
“Mommy, mommy, I keep running around in circles!”
“Hush, or I’ll nail your other shoe to the floor.”
Oooh, cruel. XD
There’s a whole series of these sick little “Mommy, mommy” jokes. Fuzz has actually de-crueled this one down a bit — the original version concludes, “Shut up, or I’ll nail your other foot to the floor!”
*said with your hands smushing your face together from either side*
“Mommy, mommy, open the squished revolving doors!”
“Mommy, Mommy, there’s a drunk hobo on our front porch!”
“Hush or you’ll wake your father!”
I like how you told that joke to a pregnant woman.
She just happened to be round.
I think the emergency release button was pushed. It releases the doors off of the track and lets them swing freely.
If you continue to watch you’ll note that the door will sometimes jerk. It appears as though the mechanism which operates the doors, was not fully connected to all the doors.
lol half the door panels were spinning the wrong way, while the other half went on.
It is also possible that someone hit the Emergency release on the doors, and the one had some recoil.

Oh crap, that must have hurt like hell.
Emergency Release makes the doors swing freely. Looks like that one had some recoil.
WOW ! whoever said someone tried to go in the wrong way, was right, look at the guy walking up on the left hand side, he pushes the door the wrong way causing it to go OMGFZOMG!!! and then the guy all covered in glasticles and THEN the guy outide looks through the window payne AND walks off!!!
Your writing is so eloquent! You simply must pen a novel for us.
It looks like the wind may have caught the panel in front of him. As soon as the chamber in front opens to the outside the panel in front of him moves back violently.
Why should it be automatic? Why can’t people just push the damn door?
The guy outside totally leaned forward and did something to the door just before it mouse-trapped that dude. Monkey Wrenching WIN???
I’m pretty sure this is fake, just because of how the glass breaks. Special effects glass shatters completely like that, but real glass comes out in chunks and pieces.
I think you should research this further.

Cruising?
LMFAO
What happened? That’s what you get for waiting too long. The door bitchslapped him so he won’t block it again…
Some dude tried to come in from outside, you can see him enter the door coming in from the left (0:20). Then he apparently pushed hard on the door going the wrong way. When the door EXPLODES, he backs off quickly, stands to the right of the door (0:23), and pauses there until (0:27). Then he walks over to the left to look inside (0:37)… then he backs away (0:40) and goes out of the frame.
This clip would be greatly enhanced by adding some foley sound, and voiceover dialog – for instance I’d preamble the crash with some conversation among the group about how cool revolving doors are… and dub in the guy who got eaten by the door yelling “My EYES! My EYES!!! I can’t SEE! Oh my god my eyes are bleeding! Someone help me! help! HELLLLLP! Oh for the love of Regis and Kelly my face is slashed to ribbons!”
Some dude named K pointed this out (24:00) minutes ago.
My explanation [above] IS cooler though.
Go fish, bitch.
*gets a near-frozen trout ready*
Why is my detachable trouser trout in the freezer.
I don’t think the guy was pushing from the wrong side, because, one, as it’s flying inward, nobody’s arms are visible that would be pushing from the other side, and two, it’s not just that panel that’s going the wrong way, there’s one from the other side, on the left side of the door. I think the guy outside was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and just jumped back in shock at the door exploding. It doesn’t look to me like it was his fault. And it doesn’t look like he was terribly affected by any huge gust of wind that would have been necessary to blow the doors in. I think eating random people is just a built-in feature of that door.
Ever since I saw that one guy get assassinated at the end of The Godfather, I’ve had a lingering fear of revolving doors.
This video may blow that fear up into an all-out phobia.
You just said you are afraid of DOORS.
Adooraphobia.
Also, watch the woman who goes through the door before him look back, pull something out of her bag, pause at the entrance of the door, then walk away hurriedly.
I will do that. I will also be looked for comment where poster, who obviously have no idea of the grammatical application of word tense in speech or writing, make him/herself look like stupidhead.
Oh crap. Simple misunderstanding, my apologies. Disregard my wild ramblings. Your sentence was error-free.
Maybe I’m not cut out for this job…
Not your fault. Think of how many days you’ve been doing this without a day off, it’s inhumane! I think you need to see the union rep.
I’ve been doing this for 3 days.
Soooooooo inhumane. And who’s the union rep?
I had to look it up and I hate to tell you this, but remember dork? Yeah that’s right, he’s it.
There there…have some popcorn, Shadow. It’s been on the job as long as you have.
*lulz*
I think we should decertify and become independent. I don’t need no stinkin’ union representation, especially if it’s Dork!
My personal favorite is that the receptionist looks like she’s practically pissing her pants laughing. It looks like she’s trying to cover it, but it’s pretty obvious she can’t help herself.
FAIL
HE does not appear to be laughing.
EMERGENCY WIND RELEASE!
I feel the wind and glass breaking to my rear.
Oh, sorry. My bad.
Anobody notice the person behind the desk? He just stays on the phone like nothing happened.
Quote from a firefighter’s manual about revolving doors:
”
COLLAPSE MECHANISMS
OF REVOLVING DOORS
ā¢ Panic-proof type ā Is triggered by forces pushing in
opposite directions on the quadrants
ā¢ Drop-arm type ā Is collapsed by pressing the pawl to
disengage the arm, then pushing the quadrant to one side
ā¢ Metal-braced type ā Is collapsed by lifting the āgate
hookā assembly and fastening it back against the fixed
quadrant; hooks are located on both sides of the
quadrant”
That one appears to be of the first type, probably it was the **** we see approaching the door from the outside that made this happen.
Well it sure ain’t the idiot-proof type.
Ain’t possible, every time we think we’ve made one, someone comes up with a bigger idiot.
Like that time with Chernobyl? Hehehe…
THAT WAS A TASTELESS AND HORRIBLE JOKE AND SHOULD NEVER EVER BE SAID AGAIN(Period Here)

He pulled his umbrella out with his right hand as he entered the door and got the handle caught between the door and the frame.
As the door tried to rotate, the tension shattered the glass.
This door don’t like punny human!
The door doesn’t like all us employing plays on words?!? Well, good thing we’re big people and not PUNY ones.
Somebody just got his dewes.
Put up yer dewkes!
After this scene, the T-1000s emerged and terminated all carbon-based organisms.

Don’t bite it.
Bite me.
Can’t, my shots aren’t up to date.
the explanation have been given in another site
it’s simply the emergency system going crazy
it makes the 4 doors into 1 for people to run out of here faster in case of fire
No, dude, everybody is saying it’s the wind. How could everyone on FailBlog be wrong? *grins*
There is a women walking into the wrong way of the door. If this door has a motor going 1 direction. She must of pushed on the glass caused the motor to over power the door and push the other doors together.
Agreed.
I like the music in this one
Man… that’s hurt
I like the fact that it makes one final attempt at rotating near the end. ā¢
I think the receptionist is laughing at him.
I think the receptionist is laughing at you.
I think the universe is laughing at you.
iThink.
think is the you universe I. laughing
“I think, therefore I am.”
Huh? I wasn’t paying attention.
*poof*
The universe is not just laughing at you, it is laughing behind your back.
obviously its very cold outside, which makes the glass more dense and therefore, weaker. the gust of air outside causes the doors to blow together, sandwiching the man and breaking the glass
Science FAIL!
I know I’m repeating myself, but watch closely, the woman who we first see entering the elevator looks back to see who’s behind her, then grabs something from her purse, looks back again just before she leaves the elevator, and pauses for a second, perhaps placing something to help jam the door, then walks away.
As this is happening a man outdoors approaches, moving left to right, and kneels forward into the revolving doorway, as if to place something else in the doorway, then continues on his way just as the door collapses.
In my opinion, the guy who gets creamed is in on it too, which is why he waited so long before entering the doorway. Probably an insurance scam, though that looked pretty painful, but some people hate their jobs that much.
Conspiracy theorists…
are several rungs higher on the evolutionary ladder of internet commentary than trolls.
If I see any, I’ll let you know.
But several rungs lower then anal mites.
and people that use “then” incorrectly.
I fail.
*hangs head and walks toward the sea*
He is, of course, referring to the internet ladder of De-Evolution.
After all, nothing has ever evolved from the internet.

If you don’t get that… I’m sure Fuzz can explain more on the concept.

Haha! Chigai, indeed
Chigai = wrong.
Are you speaking a real language?
I was speaking Language of the Ancients (Lota) which has strong ties in Improvenese and Fakish.
See what happens when you say things Comments doesn’t understand?
Now it won’t nest now.
I hope you are happy.
I’m typing Japanese (in roman letters).
The first post means, “My Japanese isn’t strong [literally: 'As for Japanese, being strength there isn't.'] I’ve forgotten everything.”
The second post means, “That’s wrong [literally: 'It's
different (the Japanese are very polite, even when they're
telling someone something's wrong)].”
Sometimes I wonder why a person of your mental caliber–who clearly knows, say, at least half-a-dozen languages–spends time perusing failblog?

I’m sorry, but your totally off. The lady is putting something up. Person B walked the opposing way of Person A, pushing on the panel/door. In turn, the half with the two occupied panels dramatically slowed and the vacant panels kept going at the same rate, quickly catching up with the former.
I give up – where’s the elevator?
It’s in Gollum’s mind and, sadly, has never made it to the top floor.
My question is, why is this clip 45 seconds longer than it needs to be? I kept waiting for more to happen!
To teach you patience.
you should watch it again
More did happen. Didn’t you see it? Oh man you missed the best part.
Yea, there were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident.
And nudity. Don’t forget the nudity!
Where’d you get your clothes… from the… toilet store?

At first, I thought that this was the proof that Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.
But then I realized that this guy didn’t slam the door, but the revolving door slammed HIM.
Ewwww…
Door porn.
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
in Soviet Russia!
In Soviet Russia, joke finishes you!
This happened in Belgium, in a building of a bank named Dexia. It was on the news the other day and appeared to be a video held back by the bank for a few years. It was indeed a ‘feature’ in case anyone would get stuck. The guy who got slammed in between appeared to only have a few scratches but no major injuries.
Yeah, the door went in emergency mode.
This was in a bank in Brussels and all over the news a few weeks ago over here.
Incredible, the troll’s lack of self-awareness must explain their lack of original thought and thus their need to validate thier existance through attempts to ridicule and discredit others. This is truly fascinating and requires futher study.
Incredible, your vain attempt to insult me and thus discredit me and make yourself feel big for the first time in your life resulted in a reply fail, and the misspelling of the word ‘further’! . This is truly fascinating and requires further study.
As well as the misspelling of the words ‘their’ and ‘existence’. Again, simply fascinating.
Plus he’s using a plural pronoun for a singular subject! The RUBE!!!

On some of the revolving doors theres a button that althoughs them to fold up and open completly… My guess is the guy was just unlucky enough to walk through as it folded, causing the glass to shatter…
can someone please arrest this man (or woman) for improper use of the English language?
*there is or there’s* not theres
*allows* not althoughs
etc., etc., etc….
Holy crap, that was nuts!

Most of the time I would rather be ignorant and happy, or well-informed and paranoid. But, reading your comment somehow made me want to be ignorant and paranoid. I HAVE NEVER BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE HAPPY AND WELL-INFORMED!

The guy felt Soviet Russia window power
Has anyone mentioned yet that there is a guy coming in the wrong way?
Yes, many have mentioned that there is a guy coming in the wrong way.
But hey, he likes it that way.
chuck norris isnt the only one who can slam a revolving door it seems
However Chuck Norris is the only one who can post the same thing twice and it’d still be funny.
it’s filmed by a security camera at the kbc bank in brussels , Belgium.
it’s caused by the wind (and security on the doors failed, or something like that).
Hieronymus, is that you?
someone is gonna get suuuuueeeeddd
I bet it’s gonna be the manuuuuuuuuuuuuuufaaaaaaactuuuuuuurer!
