OK from a different perspective....
Suppose Lawnmowerman was a fellow pilot, a positioning crew member from your company, heaven forbid someone from the CAA and not 'just' SLF - you might just be defending yourself in more frightening places than PPRUNE....
Or if your wife/husband was injured or killed as a result of falling from the open door...
Would you be as quick to jump on some one for raising concerns or would you be looking for blood because no one liked to say anything for fear of upsetting the crew?
All too often it takes an accident before 'normal' practices are changed.
