Risk vs. reward has always been a personal decision. Some risk is artificial, some is real. Scared people will always see risk. Doers will always see reward.

The lucky ones.
The county I live in and neighboring counties in both IL. and Mo. lawsuits against big corporations and individuals, such as doctors, many have closed shop and moved away, have made many lawyers and judges very rich. This has also caused all types of insurance to be extremely high just for being guilty of living here.

For tens of thousands of years, people have moved where conditions of all sorts were more favorable.

I wonder if some would know what to do on a drop test with older model roll up doors?

Is the drop test not part of the fire door Inspection to make sure that it will perform as designed in case of fire?

Probably say something like, "Damn, this door is heavy!", and, "Where am I gonna get a new one of those link thingies?"

Damn, how do I reset the coil springs, the hood is above the suspended ceiling. ???
Well, sir, I did not know that the drop test released all the tension in the torsion springs. You will need to get Overhead Door Technicians here to fix it. You will also need an Accustic Ceiling Contractor to remove the grid to access the Door mechanisms.

Ah!, but the test past.
