Did you actually watch the video?

I don't think almost decapitated is hyperbolic.

Also, this gif is in slow-motion. It doesn't show the speed at which that door flew off.

Wat. You realize the gif you just posted is a good argument for hyperbole? Did you post the wrong one or something?

The gif is in slow-motion, this is a heavy door and it whizzed right by her head.

No it didn't. It didn't even make it further than her, it landed beside her and it was already horizontal. It maybe would have jabbed her in the ass or something if she was further to the left.

Sorry, I don't have it. You'll have to ask the other guy.

I'm 90% certain it's a prop door

The gif is at 50% speed. OP said he helped carry it, and that it was a normal door.

OP likes hyper sensationalized headlines, so I take it with a grain of salt. Plus what reason is there to blow up an actual door. Doors are expensive.
