Why a garage door off track shouldn't get forced back in

Pushing or driving through a door that's jumped its track usually bends the track further, tears the roller loose from the panel, or drops the door the rest of the way. The spring above it may still be under full tension even though the door itself isn't moving, and that's not something to test by hand.
