Imagine being in a heavily packed train against a door and it opens. You would likely have no chance if the crowd of 20-30 people didn't realize what happened pretty quickly.When A kid whose parents are on their phone trying to score a 4th fastpass doesn't see/read the sign and leans on the door and flies outside during a turn where the door jars open, maybe then Disney will nut up and fix the issue instead of simply putting up a sign. Jeez.
My guess as to what happened here is the door was locked out. This would be in line with what was reported with maintenance working on the door before it left the station. If I remember correctly that is a different status from closed or open as far as the computer on the train is concerned. They'll do this occasionally if a sensor is malfunctioning and the door is usually locked shut. Apparently it wasn't locked shut though.
With Disney being as reactionary as they are this will likely be at the top of the list of things for maintenance to go out and inspect over the next several weeks. They'll of course in the process probably neglect the other things that will be issues later on.
