Too much to copy, messy layout, so get it before it's gone.
In short, Olympian Johnny Quinn got trapped in the toilet by a jammed/locked door and had to bust out!
New event? Door busting? Potty escaping?
"Well folks, it looks like Sam isn't going to...wait...I hear a flush! Now let's see if he can get out..."

Why does this door opens inside, and not outside, as it should by fire safety codes? (looked at the picture: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bf8PHIcIMAEhTRp.jpg)
PS. impressive. So, the joke that such doors (cardboard/honeycomb structure) can be "opened" by direct application of one human force is true.

Re: Trapped in the Loo at the Olympics!
Yup!
A hollow core door doesn't stand up to much of anything.
Sometimes look at the front door of your house -- that door you believe is so secure.
Is that plate, (on the door frame that the deadbolt and the little piece of metal that sticks out of the handle go into) more than a 3 or 4 inch plate that is held in with two 3/4 inch screws and an inch of wooden door frame? One good kick and it's open.
I don't care if you have a metal door or a pretend door with a cardboard or foam core. It's that piece of metal and wood in the door farm that keeps the big bad wolf out.
And this slide chains have 1/2 inch wood screws to hold them to the molding. Girl Scouts could beat them open with one hand.
(well maybe not girl scouts… that might be an exaggeration)
