What happens if the opener breaks?

A garage door without an opener system relies solely on manual operation, which can be difficult, frustrating and potentially hazardous. Understanding how a garage door would function without an opener system underscores the significance of this automated part.

Manual Operation: Without a working opener system, the garage door must be operated manually. This would potentially and likely entail physically lifting the door. This manual operation can be strenuous, especially for heavier garage doors, and for some, it can be impossible. 

Safety Concerns: Operating a garage door manually can present concerns in terms of safety. The weight of the door can make it difficult to control, and if it's not properly balanced, it can fall without warning or expectation. 

Security Risks: Manually operated garage doors may lack some of the security features that come with opener systems. The ability to lock the door securely may be compromised, making it easier for unauthorized individuals to access your garage and potentially your home.

A garage door without an opener system can function manually but it can unfortunately potentially come with a host of difficulties and potential dangers. The opener system's automated operation is actually quite important in terms of security and accessibility, as discussed here.
