I had a different experience with "suicide doors" with a 1949 Monarch (Canadian Mercury). There were 4 of us in the car and when I parked, we all started to exit. Unfortunately, my friend on the passengers side jumped out and slammed the door just as his girlfriend in the passengers side rear seat stepped out of the rear door while leaning forward. The front door caught her right across the top of the head. No permanent injury but I don't think their relationship lasted much longer.
