Young boy injured in fall after doors swing in

According to a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, investigations have been underway following a incident in which a five-year-old boy fell 12-15 feet down a public-transit elevator shaft in Decatur, Georgia. The unit’s doors "did swing in" when the child pushed on them. The boy "was not badly hurt." Obviously the elevator maintaining company allowed the gibs on the hatch door to be removed without replacement.
