Default Doors blowing off?

Ok what the hell is the deal with at all the races now a day someone door blows off. Is it the k tuned hinges or is it the doors doing it. Someone please chime in. I would like to buy both but I would like to know what the hell the deal is.

Id like to know too. I want to buy the k-tuned hinges but if they are causing doors to blow off, I wouldn't do it. Since the hinges sit in the bracket, they aren't really being held in except by gravity and the door latch.
I kinda understand a fiberglass door blowing off. Its real light, more subject to the high speed winds and the hinge bolt holes may be weaker. So you'd want to make sure who ever you get the doors from have reinforced hinge bolt holes.

Its just about worse than an oil down cleanup in terms of time.
