The position of the "open button" on the pillar is right next to a pinch point ... if someone is exiting or entering the car in the back seat. It's a timing thing to be mindful of.

My father-in-law had a terrible accident last night. Spent three hours in ER. See link below.

With smaller kids reaching up to unlock the door, and someone behind them going in / out - I'd be extra diligent and watchful. It's like a perfect storm of events that if timed right, can be extremely painful. Seven stitches and a splint was the result. I'm surprised he didn't lose the tip of his finger.

Most cars require you to reach for a door handle away from the hinges. In this case, there is not one - so you reach for the pillar unlock button.

My father-in-law is not a child, by the way.

Thanks for sharing this. Sorry for your father in law and traumatic experience for your family. I certainly did not think of this scenario and will be mindful about this and let family members know of this potential pitfall
