Read the police blotter this morning, yes it's a small town and is published daily, a couple was "trapped" in the carwash when the overhead doors failed to open after the carwash was complete. for those of you in the southern climates our un-attended automatic carwashes have garage doors on each end that open after you pay, you drive in the door closes the car is washed and the other door opens and you drive out , There was a mal***tion that prevented the door from opening and they could not get out. They could not manually open the overhead door either.
Should there be an exit door from such a facility? I don't believe any of the exceptions would apply if the facility was built today.
Opinions?
