You're stuck in a Refridgerator

You ever notice they still take the doors off refrigerators when they put them out for the trash? It made sense when the door had latches, and a kid could get stuck inside, but now that they are magnetic and can just be pushed open from the inside, I don't really get it. Just tradition?

I assure you, there are people who wouldn't think to "PUSH" and would rot in there. I might think it's an acceptable Darwinian result, but some people probably object to dumb people rotting to death in refrigerators.

No, but the doors require the same force to push open as to pull open, and I can pull them open with a finger or two. A kid "trapped" inside could easily push one open with their body weight by leaning on the door. Sure, I could envision a series of events that might lead to a kid being trapped in one, but it's much less likely than when I was a kid and the doors had latches.
