A possible solution might be to put restrictors directly on the  cylinders. Thus lowering the risk by eliminating the hose as a factor.  (would still be a factor, but should not slam shut in the event of a  hose break) Just a thought.

I was thinking I'd want counter weights on beams that run along the sides of the doors.  They'd just stick up in the air.  It would balance the load on the main support beam so that it is all compressive load, and in the event of a hydraulic rupture, there'd not be so much destructive weight coming down.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
