Not even ironically. We have automatic sliding doors where I work, which are designed to open outward if pushed, to allow safe exit in a crowd stampede emergency.
Every so often somebody leans against it, bumps open the emergency mechanism, and trips the alarm. Which is pretty chill, but a staff member has to push it back into place before the door opens and closes automatically again.
Recently this happened, and instead of waiting 20 seconds for a staff to fix it, the customer pushed the doors the rest of the way out, because the door not opening automatically was “an emergency.”
But what about the emergency described on the door? Does it also apply?
Yes, it’s probably referring to the climate crisis. I think it qualifies as a emergency allowing me to not use the button
Uhm, instructions unclear. Let me find something to break the glass.
The emergency: the button not working

So is there room to add “if button fails”?
