don't worry about it. you'd need to stand in the doors for a long time to even hace a SLIGHT increase in your cacer risk.

person standing in the doorway for an extended period of time over many days can retain a high enough dose of radiation that may be able to mutate cells in the tissues in the riders ankle thereby causing cancer.
