QUICK!!!!! Can you break your fingers by trapping your hand in a door that doesn't fully shut?

DS1 tried to slam the door in a temper but his bookbags stopped it shutting. His hand is really hurting.

My ds1 fractured his fingertip in just that sort of a way

can he wiggle it like a spider?

(I don't know, they used to say it in nursery so I always use it as a test. Probably all my kids' fingers have unhealed fractures as a result)

i did it to ds in the car and to myself a few months later.....sleepless nights not anger...if they can move them they're almost certainly not broken but if you're worried take him to a&e, it shouldn't be too busy on a tues night.

Just got him to clench his fist. Is that okay?

I would have thought so, you can't do alot without being in excruciating agony if you've broken stuff, should think you'll, sorry he'll be OK

Thanks.

Kids!!!

Maybe he will think twice before slamming doors in future.
