Suicide door


A "suicide door" is the slang term for a door hinged at its rear rather than the front.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Suicide Doors )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Historic Automotive Terms )〕 Such doors were originally used on horse-drawn carriages,〔Anthony Bird & Francis Hutton-Stott, ''Lanchester Motorcars, A History'', page 96, Cassell, London 1965〕 but are rarely found on modern vehicles due primarily to safety concerns.
Popularized in the custom car trade, the term is avoided by major automobile manufacturers in favor of alternatives such as "coach doors" (Rolls-Royce),〔 "FlexDoors" (Opel), "freestyle doors" (Mazda),〔 "rear access doors" (Saturn),〔 and "rear-hinged doors".〔
==History==

Suicide doors were common on cars manufactured in the first half of the 20th century.〔 In the era before seat belts, the accidental opening of such doors meant that there was a greater risk of falling out of the vehicle compared to front-hinged doors, where airflow pushed the doors closed rather than opening them further. Suicide doors were especially popular with mobsters in the gangster era of the 1930s, supposedly due to the ease of pushing passengers out of moving vehicles, according to Dave Brownell, the former editor of ''Hemmings Motor News''.〔
After World War II, the use of suicide doors was mostly limited to rear doors of four-door sedans. The best-known use of suicide doors on post-World War II automobiles was the Lincoln Continental sedans and convertibles in the 1960s.〔
