The act of putting oneself INTO a car with these doors was considered "suicidal".

Not necessarily....as the front hinged door will be pushed away from you. Unless said ramee is driving on the wrong side of the road... wink

Not on a 4 door car, if the driver is getting out and the passenger behind the driver is getting out and the door in back hits driver in front...

If you get hit by a car getting out of a car, I don't think it makes much difference which side of the door you're on.
