I'd be suprised if the boidy where the hinges are attatched isnt bent. That peice flexes enough when you push the door a bit further than irts supposed to go let alone a 1600kg car with a bit of momentum behind it.
I've done stupid shit like that. I took a headunuit out of my car, sat it on the driveway. came back backed car out, felt bump, so i drove forward again, bump still there. poor headunit.

I nearly did that once. I went to reverse but someone had left my front passenger side door open. I nearly took it out on a pole. Realised just in time. The door ajar warning on the dash did nothing to help me there

When my former boss was young, one of his kids got in his car (valiant) and let the handbrake off.
The car rolled backwards with teh door open, valiants being as strong as they are, the door took out the metal support pole for the garage on his house!! .. I know it sucks today, but a car is always fixable, and a person getting hurt is always worse, deep breath and go out and have a look at fixing it. |

Nothing worse than your dad reversing the car down the drive way and having the door open with a big pile of stones.
He soon leveled his pile of stones and wrapped my door onto the guard |
