Yesterday, having a new wireless router to install, I needed to enter the loft to reset the CCTV settings. Having completed the same, I exited the loft, pushing up the loft hatch door, only for the hatch door to come crashing down, causing me sever facial injuries.

Never realised before just how dangerous these loft hatches doors can be. My loft hatch has the standard loft catch, are there any safety type catches about, or even a soft controlled closing type, similar to a toilet, or fire door closure type about.
