I just meant, don't have it fall into spikes or oblivion... Like kent said, it

Floor_Trap is the one that swings open, but nix for now as per Eric's
request.  The spike log swings down from the ceiling and you have to either
move back to avoid it, or jump over it--depending on modified player
abilities.

the spike traps you have made work perfectly for their purposes, no worries
there.
