"That is one really big door"
(NOTE: This trap wasn't created by myself... see "The Small List of Traps" for more details.)
Ideal to install in a Giant's lair, or that of some other great creature. It is a door. There are other doors like this, great and massive, hard to open for little folks we are. This one is a bit different:
As other doors, it has a single handle to open and close, no lock. But its hinges are on the BOTTOM side of the door.
If you manage to push it, it falls with a crash. If you pull it, it opens... right on you. The door is made of stone or iron and extremely heavy. Ouch.
Trap was made by one Kevin Sullivan, credit goes hence to him.

It is a funny trap. While it does not make me laugh nor deserve the 'silly' free-text, it does make me smile about it and its applications.
LOL,very funny except for the one who gets squashed.
Updated: Updated credit stuff, since I have finally found out who the author is. Respect. :)
A nice idea. I think a player would notice this, but maybe not. I mean, we always know whether to push or pull a door in real life... is this because of convention, or because we unconciously observe?
Just to note, it is very easy to build a door that can be opened in one way only.
And I still love this one.
Simple. Effective. Squish.
Cute. Agree with the others.
I don't know about you others, but I did laugh out loud when I read this!
Imagine that happening. HA!
Go silly traps!
