I think that's why they redesigned the E70's door handles so it pulls outward instead of upward. And the effort needed is much less now.
My niece was yanking at the right passenger side door handle this one time. The handle slipped and made a huge slapping sound. She panicked, looked at me with frightening eyes while she quickly tried to reopen the door.
It was really funny. But I didn't give her beef. She was scared enough already. lol
