as far as i know i came up with this
The PCs come to a hallway, about 15ft wide and 100ft long. On the right side of the hall there are 10 doors, evenly spaced apart. The area in front of each door to accross the hall is rigged with pressure sensitive floor panels, if over 50lbs is applied to the area in front of a door or the door is opened, a log will be launched through the door and crush anyone directly in front of the door. The logs are launched with great speed and force and about the size of telephone poles, saves and such are at the DMs discretion.

Ouch indeed... I can imagine that would be painful. Why would such a trap be built? Is something being concealed, or are we simply dealing with an unusually antisocial wizard or something?
I like it.
a nice idea, and simple mechanically.
Kind of reminds me of hurricane testing doors, though they only use 2x4s'
Interesting...
It needs a hidden area where the trap builder and his minions can watch while drinking beer, like a bunch of rednecks with a bug light.
Neat as a stub, but it would be nice to see it built into a larger submission.
Even though I have used them, I dislike the 'bang your dead traps'. And this has no story, narrative, cryptology, culture or illustrative text to really make it anything more than 'man gets hit with big stick'.
Simple, effective, a stand-alone trap that can be put in front of any door by any NPC worth his trapmaking salt. I can see it being scaled to a certain point when it comes to lethality as well. I don't feel like this one needs a background, as this is the sort of thing every run of the mill trapmaker could construct.
