One of the lessons from the old book the design of everyday things is that when someone uses an artifact incorrectly, it is not the fault of the user but instead the fault of the designer who allowed such a use.

One of the examples in the books are people who keep on pulling on a handle on a door that's meant to be pushed on when the handle looks like a pull handle.

You did nothing other than pull on the pull handle. That the door frame came out of the wall is not your fault.
