Another death caused by the security doors in Seoul’s subway system:

A man was killed after being caught between subway safety doors and a train at Gimpo International Airport Station in western Seoul, Wednesday.
The passenger, surnamed Kim, 36, was on a train heading for Banghwa Station of line No. 5. As the train arrived at Gimpo station, he was getting off but got caught in the 30-centimeter gap between the train and the platform safety screen door.
As the subway engineer closed the train doors and screen doors to depart, a passenger reported through the intercom on the train that a man was caught between the two sets of doors, according to Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corp.
The engineer re-opened the doors and closed them again 27 seconds later and started moving the train, apparently failing to check whether the man got out of the gap. [Korea Times]
Negligent on the part of the engineer. People need to be more diligent on their job in Korea. This was easily avoidable fatality.
Thirty centimeters between the train and safety door sounds like a poor design.
The designer must have been a chubby chaser.
Who designs a trap that only lets fat chicks live?
I like how they make sure everyone is on in Japan:
