The U.S. bobsledder who smashed through his locked bathroom door in Sochi Feb. 8 has recently accepted an invitation from a Texas SWAT team to train as a “door slammer.”
When Johnny Quinn got locked in his bathroom, he didn’t wait around for someone to rescue him. Instead, he catapulted himself through the door. His tweet went viral and even reached as far as the Denton Police Department, who offered to let Quinn train with the SWAT team. He quickly said yes, Gawker reports.
