Dumping the Air...Good? or Bad?

Dumping the air at low speed usually causes a very hard stop. Any passengers still walking or standing, as they probably are just after a station stop, can easily lose their balance. You're lucky no one was hurt. If people were in danger of getting hurt outside, dumping it was right; however, if they were just missing their train, two beeps on the buzzer would do it. You can always back up to get them. Greater delays would have resulted if somebody has possible broken ribs. Emergency should be the action of last resort.
