Back in August, when I was helping move my roommate into our apartment, I tried holding the elevator door open with my foot in a Haviana sandal.
The result was the elevator door getting caught on my big toe, so much so that I couldn't press the "door open" button and it would come off. At first I was worried we'd have to call 911 or something and have a whole big scene of carefully prying the door off my toe, but then I tried just pushing it off, and lo and behold it worked. No broken bones or severed tendons/muscles, thankfully, but just a lovely, profusely bleeding gash for a while.
