A properly set up garage door will not drop when the electric door opener is disconnected.

Every 6 months you should disconnect the opener (most have a small rope to pull) and see if the door opens easily by hand and stays in a half-open position.

The door should be balanced by the springs. The door opener (or you if opening manually) shouldn't have to lift the entire weight of the door.

Every garage and kitchen should have a fire extinguisher.
