Paper beats wood: under a garage door, it can save your child' life

Article Abstract:

Electric garage doors made prior to 1993 may not be sensitive enough to stop and reverse when hitting a surface such as a child's head. Since 1982, more than 50 children have died in such accidents. A door should stop if it hits a test roll of paper towels, such as Vita Big Roll, a 59.5 ft sq roll.
