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!!”

Kristoffer

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.

david

indeed. i need to know what happened.

Floyd

I guess the wind blew one of the flaps backwards or something…

Chronos

Really? lol, kinda unlikely

goodnplenty81

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.

goodnplenty81

WHY? Why do my comments take an hour and a half to show up? Fuck you failblog, and your tardiness.

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.

david

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?

 
Chronos

But watch the people outside, it was huge enough you think the would’ve reacted more strongly

4 sectiosn of the door.. not just 2 idiot

Killerwit

Looks like just 1 idiot to me. (See above.)

First!

Awwww… I’m an idiot? :(

 
 
 
 
tatterdemalion

4 sections of the door. not just 2 idiot.

Not_you

you only need to post your comment once, you bigger idiot.

Shadow

He was correcting the first guy, you biggest idiot.

Slammer

You guys are all idiots, he was referring to the TWO sections of the door that came together…

bobby

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.

 
 
 
daver

not the same person, you biggest idiot.

Sara J

Will NO ONE call me the biggest idiot? *sobs*

 
Mouse

No. Fat jokes are out of fashion. Try again later. Fashions change quickly.

 
Shadow

You’re not big. And your skin glows.
It’s those pregnancy hormones, Sara, don’t let them bring you down.

Sara J

Thanks, Shadow. You’re much nicer than my coworker, who told me yesterday that I’d better not go to the beach, because someone might harpoon me.

Shadow

O.O . If I said that to a pregnant lady, I would be dead faster than you could say, “Thar she blows.”

Sara J

Not to worry, I dispatched him swiftly. *nom nom nom*

Call me a whale, will you? I’ll baleen your ass.

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.

Sylderon

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 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.

 
K

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!

MutantG

Your totally right. Didn’t notice until you pointed it out.

 
rade

meh, a big deal, he has probably just lost an eye or two…

 
fuzz on the concept

cause he was a bit 2 leisurely
as he walked in through the out door, out door
~ Prince, ” :P Beret “

 
 
bobby

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:

If the url doesn’t go through, do a search for “revolving door panic collapsing mechanism” and find your answers (dot com).

david

that seems more likely then a the wind explanation.

 
 
bobby

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.

 
 
Mr. Nonsense

Typing fail. I’m shocked! :p

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!”

Great comment Blaanam.

 
 
Jpoel

Whaaa! Wonder what went wrong there!

 
 
Bob Bob

How is that even possible?

G.I.JOE

The doors are set up to fold up for easy fire and police acess

 
 
thatotherguy

the door pretty much just tried to eat that guy

DTB

hahaha can’t put it better than that!

Shadow

I’ll stick to popcorn.
*munchy munch munch*

Humility

Guess what, your mom is sticky…

Humility

Wait a minute… Was that my second “your mom”-joke on you? Well, wouldn’t say joke, but still… I love the mood I’m in right now..!

Shadow

If only you were in the mood to write a comment that was actually worth the 10 seconds it took for me to read it…

Humility

Well, okay… Here goes… I’m sorry… Was that worth your time?
Hah… I gave an apology on the web, damn, that’s dirty… Almost as dirty as someone’s….

Shadow

I’D certainly be humiliated.

 
Humility

Yeeeaaaah… Strange that you should mention it… Well… My mood is at it’s way down, so no worries… I’m done… Finito… Ferdig! =)

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.

TyVitty

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!

 
DarkThatFollows

Nah that’s the metal part of the door that breaks in 1/2 when the glass falls out.

 
dee dee dee

no, it’s a part of the door.

 
 
Bobcat

I swear the door planned it all along
