Or, if there's enough space for your feet to slip down, 420 volts from

Agree that there's always the chance that some sort of slippage could
happen especially in a crowded train.

I wonder if one could generalise and say that trains operators are
perhaps more likely to be fully alert during the rush hour and so
opening the doors on the wrong side would be less likely to happen
then?
