Bethel Inn tragedy highlights swinging door elevator danger

An eight year old boy died in Bethel Maine when trapped between outer and inner doors of a 1929 elevator. AP analysis finds nine child deaths linked to old swinging door elevators over decades. Experts note space guards exist but are rarely required or enforced in many states.

Hidden Space Between Doors Threatens Child Safety

A narrow gap between the outer door and inner gate traps a child. Elevator movement can cause an object in the space to strike the floor above. Space guards fixed to the landing door reduce the gap, removing room for a child.
