"Inflatable Slide Deployment Issues. These include challenges
with the manner, location, and timing of slide deployment
such as the following:
• Slides becoming twisted and caught up at the exit door;
• Failure of slides to operate or operate properly;
• Unnecessary deployment of slides; and
• Deployment in hazardous locations, such as places where
fire or steep inclines exist."
Pg. 20 (28 for pdf file)
" the following list of recommendations
to improve passenger emergency evacuation of commercial
aircraft has been developed."
None of the recommendations involve fixing the slide deflation problem. Rather having additional people holding the slides down and assisting passengers in an evacuation.
