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.

Why when you stand facing the edge of an open door one foot on each side of door you will not be able to stand on your toes?
When standing with one foot on each side of an open door, your body is positioned in a way that limits balance and stability. The open door creates a gap that disrupts your center of gravity, making it difficult to rise onto your toes without tipping over. Additionally, the uneven footing and the lack of support from the door itself further inhibit your ability to maintain balance in that position.
