    Wanted to chime in and clarify, the major issue there is you cannot operate a door handle in a crush, no matter how much of your senses you have. Canā€™t use a door handle if you canā€™t use your arms. Am drunk on the internet and hope this isnā€™t interpreted as a hostile reply.

      But isnā€™t the point of crash bar locks that just the act of being crushed against the door will force it open? The only thing you have to do to open it is push on it or be pushed into it. Of course that wonā€™t help you when you fall as the door swings open and get trampled, but itā€™s better than everyone burning to death.
