One slide malfunction whose fault is the vendor is not holding up our pass for the mini.

The real danger that was discovered about slides was on a 747 that caught fire from the engine and the jet fuel was that during a real evac situation the slide (located too close to the door) started to deploy and jammed the friggin door so it didn't open. Had the slide not been deployed before the door was open it could have saved more than 100 lives.

Passengers will go to any door they see open, they will climb over each other and seats all at the same time trying to get out of a plane on fire or a plane loaded with jet fuel that may catch fire in an evacuation situation.

One passenger said he didn't even know if he even used the slide, he just jumped.

It is a total stampede unless the flight deck and flight crew can communicate to the passengers about a situation prior to the passengers screaming (so passengers can hear the instructions delivered from the flight deck or cabin crew.) That is my finding after watching 15 hours of plane crash investigation where an evacuation was even possible.

Neither the FAA or NTSB or crash investigators from other countries mentioned that a smoother evacuation can occur before the passengers start screaming about a fire or a good survivable water landing (don't need slides for a water landing watch ethiopian airlines hijacked plane landing on water)... It was a very survivable landing in water. if the passengers could have heard the pilot and crews instructions NOT to inflate life vests before out of plane...or the inflatables will trap the person to the ceiling of the plane. It's hard to swim downward to a door or open passage way with an inflated vest. And what if those stupid slides deploy on a water landing and block every friggin exit point of a door because of a slides location next to doors (too close).
