I don’t buy claims like this. I can understand walking into a glass panel thinking it was a door that pushes OUT, but it is nearly universal in commercial building codes in the US now that you must pull a handle towards yourself on manual doors to enter a building. Even had he aligned himself with an actual door, his action of running towards the door and bouncing/pushing into it STILL would have been the incorrect action!

I witnessed such an event while I was stationed in Okinawa. This woman was in a rush and walked right into the glass, she stumbled backward with a confused look and……immediatly did it again.

Yeah, the store owner forgot to put those silhouettes of falcons and eagles on the glass panel the birdbrain ran into.

I, on the other hand, always get zapped by the old only-one-of-a-pair-of-door-unlocked gimmick and usually end up with a sprained wrist. I guess it’s my own fault for being left-handed.

I always thought those stickers were counterproductive. If it’s an “automatic caution door”, I shouldn’t have to be careful.

Probably because there wasn’t any stickers or paper hanging on the immobile glass. Usually stores have some sort of visual cue on the immobile glass so as to STOP THE IDIOTS from running into said immobile glass.
Dumb ass, why oh why do we have to pay higher prices for things, just because some stooopid dipwad gets lucky with a law suit!!?!?!?
