Man dies after being sucked into MRI machine

Could signage have been a problem?

After I had heart surgery they warned me MRIs could be a problem. But much later I was walking by a door to the MRI area that was usually closed with a big MRI-warning sign.

I was looking for someone in that part of the hospital and noticed that the door that was normally closed was open, had no warning sign, and had no one attending it. So I went through the door to see if there was someone. (There was no sign telling me to stay out! I assume the MRI machine must be off.)

Well, I was barely through the doorway and a nurse tackled me an pushed me back out.
