It's a fire escape mechanism. The rotating doors slam together (usually without breaking glass but this guy was in the way) to make one non-rotating frame which allows free traffic through both sides. In some places this design is mandatory after a rotating door got stuck during a fire and people couldn't get out.

[–]Flanery 23 points24 points ago

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

In 1942, the Cocoanut Grove, a popular nightclub in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, went up in flames killing 503 people. One of the main reasons cited for the large number of casualties was the single revolving door located at the entrance. As the mob of panicking patrons attempted to use the door as an escape it soon became jammed, trapping countless people between the door and the crowd pushing towards it. As a result, many people died from smoke inhalation, not being able to escape the burning nightclub.

In 1943 it became Massachusetts state law to either flank a revolving door with an outward swinging hinged door or make the revolving door collapsible (so it becomes a double partition collapsing at 180°) allowing people to pass on either side. American revolving doors are now collapsible. Some jurisdictions require them to be flanked by at least one hinged door either by common practice or required by law. For example, the Ontario Building Code 3.4.6.14. asserts that revolving doors needs to "(a) be collapsible, (b) have hinged doors providing equivalent exiting capacity located adjacent to it".

Please tell me it's safety glass...

[–]5-4-3-2-1-bang 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You don't want safety glass in this case. Safety glass is a sandwich (glass, epoxy, plastic, epoxy, glass, or if you're doing it for public transportation plastic epoxy glass epoxy plastic) that is designed to maintain structural integrity when broken.

What you want (and was used on that door) is tempered (sometimes called heat-treated) glass. Tempered glass is pretty strong, and more importantly when broken breaks into thousands of relatively innocuous cubes. You can get light skin cuts from tempered glass, but you won't get the dagger like dangerous pieces that you will from plate glass.

(You use safety glass for a car's windshield, so that if you aren't wearing your seatbelt and are in an accident, you don't get thrown through the windshield and onto/over the hood.)

[–]Voerendaalse 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Aha, thanks. Yeah, it's what I meant: glass that doesn't get shattered with sharp edges.

[–]kurin 0 points1 point ago

so that if you aren't wearing your seatbelt and are in an accident, you don't get thrown through the windshield and onto/over the hood.)

Wouldn't that really be preferable? You can spread your momentum across a number of impacts, or you can lose it all right at the windshield.

[–]dirtymatt 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unless you happen to fly straight through into another car, oncoming traffic, or a brick wall. Hitting an object that will shatter, but not fall apart is preferable.

[–]nylolexchange 0 points1 point ago

Hmm so in movies when a car crashes and the person in the back seat comes flying out the windshield, that's not realistic?

[–]Azega 0 points1 point ago

Still could cause serious injuries to eyes and any exposed skin, not to mention just being hit by the large mass of the glass.

[–]Voerendaalse 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I wouldn't volunteer to have this accident happening to me; but I'm glad the guy probably was OK after all.

If you look outside the building, just before the door collapses, another person is trying to come through. My guess is that they pressed the 'Fire emergency' button which in turn slammed the doors on that poor guy.

I assumed that this door malfunctioned and it's not supposed to work this way (call me stupid like that). Surely they didn't design it to sacrifice whoever happens to be going through the door.

[–]dirtymatt 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, based on the fact that the glass is clearly tempered glass from how it shattered, and the man jumped out of the doors and was walking around, it's pretty safe to say no one was sacrificed.

So? First of all, that man isn't Superman. Secondly, he pushed on ONE side, and BOTH sides of the door slammed into him. As you'd expect from a wind gust attempting to push into the building.

Imagine a hundred people all shoving against that door, I can imagine a lot that would go wrong. Having the doors swing open prevents the door from becoming clogged with people.

At the end of the video, it shows the traffic mat in front of the door lifting up because of the wind. I am starting to think this was actually caused by the wind rather than the fire mechanism failing.

[–]whitedawg 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There are (nominally) two advantages. First, in cold or windy weather, a revolving door prevents wind from ever blowing directly into the building, even when people are entering. Second, a person can enter while a person is exiting.

Which is why they are used as the entrance to nearly every building in Chicago.

[–]panfist 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

First of all, Chicago isn't more windy than any other city; the name comes from politics.

Secondly, the main reason for revolving doors in modern in architecture is to control air pressure differentials between inside the building and the outside environment. Imagine in the winter, the interior of the building is pretty well sealed and kept at about 70 degrees, and outisde it's 10 degrees. Inside the building is a huge column of warm air that will try to rush out of any open door, and it can make doors difficult to open or close, even without any wind in the environment.

HOW DARE YOU CALL CHICAGO WINDY

[–]panfist -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Let's say you are from New York and every single goddamn time you are having smalltalk with anyone, and New York comes up, they say, "Ahh the Big Apple. It must be pretty dark, living in the shadow of a big apple. I wonder why it hasn't rotted yet. Maybe there's an advanced colony of apple worms living inside, preparing to burst free and enslave the human race." THERE IS NO FUCKING BIG APPLE IN THE BIG APPLE AND THE WINDY CITY IS NOT WINDY YOU MORANS

So, people bring up the windiness of the windy city, and since the origin of the name is rather interesting compared to normal bullshit small talk like how-about-that-local-sports-team, I begin to explain it. Then I can see their face start to go walleyed, and their jaws start to go slack, and drool start to come out of their mouths...little does that person realize they are contributing to my deep-seated hatred of the human race.

Then they get all skeptical like, "I'm not sure you're right...I was in Chicago once and it was windy that day." So yeah, they were in Chicago once and they know more about it than someone who has lived there for decades. Fuck everything about that.

[–]ofimmsl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

if you have lived in chicago for decades then maybe you have been desensitized to the wind. if you travel to other cities, that arent on your top 100 list of windy cities, you will see that chicago is actually pretty windy.

I never said that chicago is called the windy city because it is windy. some other guy, not me, said that the reason all chicago buildings have revolving doors is because of the wind. Even he didnt claim that chicago is called the windy city because of the high wind. the other guy thought that he was implying that chicago got its name due to the wind but he was wrong. I replied to that guy that chicago was windier than any city that ive ever been in because it is true.

I never used the term "windy city", and that fact about it coming from politics rather than wind has been common knowledge on the internet for many years. so dont think you are some genius because you know some little bit of trivia that isnt relevant in any conversation except for internet arguments.

I work in the Loop. One entrance to my building has a revolving door right next to a standard push door. Most mornings there is a short line of people waiting to go through the revolving door, many of whom seem amazed when I walk up to the push door and go through.

[–]rjaspa 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not from Chicago, but my work has the same setup. They hang signs on the push doors that specifically request people go through the revolving door unless they have a disability, as to not let in cold air. The people who work in the lobby get über-pissy when someone doesn't.

I've seen that setup in many buildings, but in the one I work in no signage indicates if one door is preferred over another. If the lobby were smaller I'd be more concerned about letting in cold air, but this lobby is about 5 stories tall and the size of a basketball court, so I'm not too worried about it. There is usually a guard stationed near the door and he doesn't seem to care.

We have almost the exact same door where I work. The panes move out like that for fire safety. We had a large storm quite a few years ago and all three panes broke out two of them slamming together due to the wind speed. Thankfuly no one was inside and it didnt' shatter. At the top of the panes there are sensors to stop doors while people are inside if they are too close to the pane behind them for safety reasons. if a person did go in the opposite way the entire door would freeze in place. I hate that damn door.

[–]cerialthriller 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

he's implying that in most other civilized countries people don't sue over this kind of stuff because if he required medical care they likely didn't have to pay for it because healthcare is free or very cheap and if they did have to pay for healthcare the building owner would likely have offered to pay or insurance would pay. suing for extra money is an american thing.

[–]drawafade -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I gathered that. However, the astute thing to do for anyone in this position is to sue for damages, even if your country has universal health care or not. I didn't exactly understand what he was saying; I'm Canadian, and the majority of people here would sue the building if a tort like this did happen.

[–]cerialthriller 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

what i was saying is that you probably wouldnt have to sue, since health care is cheap or free, it is cheaper for the building owners insurance company to just pay you via an insurance claim. The reason something like this would go to court in the US is because it cost the insurance company probably a quarter of a million dollars to pay the person to let it go even if there were no injuries. In my experience, people in other countries mostly don't sue for extra money. In the US, that person could now become rich because of an unfortunate accident. Most places here in the US would also just pay for expenses if the person wasn't going to sue for millions extra and start claiming they have neck pain and are mentally anguished and can never enter a building with a revolving door again, so that should be worth atleast 10 million in lost wages since i will never be able to work in an office with a revolving door.

Extremely high lawsuit awards usually come into play via "punitive damages" which basically say that not only did the defendant actually damage the plaintiff but they also put many others at risk, and therefore a large fine is levied to deter the defendant and others from similar acts in the future. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing, but it's not usually because of mental anguish and certainly not for an accidental occurrence (in the court's opinion).
