Don't feel too bad, I have had many slide crush situations.
1. Glass in the bathroom bounced into kitchen, pulled the trim off the slide.
2. Drawer open, kitchen slide, broke handle.
3. Laptop slid out of slot, got caught in LR slide, new laptop.
4. Broom came out of clip and fell down, broom dent in side of slide.
5. Drawer bounced open in LR, had to take the drawer out and rebuild it.
6. Book cabinet bounced open, slide was pooping books out then got stuck, fortunately they were paperbacks books.
While I always try to check for obstructions I don't always catch them.Dallas

At least a replacement door can be purchased relatively inexpensively!

Looks like a clean break - some duct tape should fix it.
I have been there too - also check the outside while closing - caught a tree branch once.2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th wheel with 6K axle upgrade.

Our Reflection 28bh has a drawer in the step to the bunkroom. When the main slide is in, you can't see this particular drawer because it's hidden. Problem is, if you put anything in there with weight, the door will tend to pop open during transit. This happened to us. So not knowing the drawer was open, opening the slide crushed the drawer and bent the drawer guides.
I need to rebuild the drawer and install new guides. Then I need to fabricate some sort of lock so that this drawer doesn't come open again.2017 Ford F450 - our kids call her "Big Red"
