I'm hanging tough, I honestly believe putting this much weight on a "Packed" slide is insane.
There is a history of slide failures in actual emergency situations on Certified Airlines & Planes.
no one can guarantee 100% that a slide will be perfect every time and truthfully the only way to test is to deploy it but then it has to be repacked, if the FAA is putting that much weight on the slide then they need to come up with something other than a damn inflatable slide (It will always be subject to failure no matter the type jet it is on or brand it is)
If Baltia gets tough on this and stands their ground they could put the FAA in a bad situation in court and I would think that every jet with a slide would need to be grounded (I know that sounds stupid but they all have slides that are subject to failure)
