They’re worried about two things. That they’ll push it open, step too quickly into the breach … only for it to swing back and smack them in the nose – so find a way of propping it out of harms way, and give them time to see before they step. Or maybe it’s the bogey-man hiding in the shadows – so, wide open now and plenty of light … show them all that is there, don’t rely on telling them.
