And what would you have to say if you were on that train with family and
you child managed to open a door and fall out???  You'd be bloody hoping
mad that the doors were able to opened by a child in the first place!
You really have to weigh up the likely hood of someone inadvertently
opening an outside door as they fumbled half asleep going to the toilet
against the likely hood of some sort of crash.  Now you tell me which
has the higher likely hood of happening?
