Why do you stand in the door way during an earthquake?

Some people stand under door ways because it one of the sturdiest places in your dwelling, but recently i have found many reasons why they're not the safest place where you can shield yourself from an earthquake. For example, if the house comes down during the earthquake, the door way would also come down with it. Also, if the door way has a door attached to it, the door could swing and hit you with great strength. And if you are in a building with multiple people, standing in the door way would just cause you to be an obstacle in which either you would put the other people in danger or they would push you out of the way and/or trample you. -EG

Alternatively, one can build their own earthquake kits and there are sites, like 72hours, which provide advice on earthquake preparedness including contents of a kit.
