Is it possible to accidentally open the passenger front door while the car is at speed?

The handle seems like a good grab handle but wife is concerned about accidentally pressing the button.

The electronic button won’t open the car (cause the car is locked) but the mechanical lever will.

That's what I was expecting. I had tried testing by manually locking the car but pressing the door open button while the car is parked automatically unlocks it.

Even if someone did open the door at speed, the force of the air will keep it closed and it would take quite an effort to open it.

my daughter pushed the button while we driving/stopped at light in the rear. It unlocked the door which set off the chime..

The button itself won't do anything above 3 or 5 mph (can't remember which one). Should be fine unless you're just taking off. The button won't work period even if the car is unlocked, as far as I know, when the car is above the speed threshold.

Here's a video showing that button will not open the car when in motion.
