Yeah I think it's a stupid design and it should not be permitted. There should always be an obvious and fairly standard way to open a car door from the inside.

But we have those rear seat "child safety" locks that could have had the same effect.

And you can't always prevent someone from doing something fatally stupid.

No you can't always prevent stupidity. But you can lessen the chances of any given stupidity necessarily being fatal.
