I've Thought of the Possibility, of Using such Emergency Exits in Flight, -at Low, Near Ground Altitudes, -in the Event of an Impending Crash, Etc.
Of Course If and Where Practiceable at All!, -It would Require a Good and Precise Sense of Timing!
But Where Doable, -One could Conceivably Emergency Exit an Aircraft, -Near Ground Level. And *Before* Being Otherwise Trapped, Injured, or Killed within the Crash or Other Mishap Itself!
Despite How Close to such Crash your Landing Point may be! (And Affected perhaps Adversely, -By Flying Debris, Heat, Flames, Where and How you Fall and Exit, in Itself, Etc.).
I've Seen such Emergency Exits on the Few Airline Flights I've been on. And Read / Familiarized myself with the Basic Instructions.
The Thot then Came, -Could One Successfully Operate Such, -Just Shortly Before a Crash or Other Mishap?! At Low Enuff Altitude once again, -to Hopefully Survive such a Fall Itself?
Timing would be Crucial!
And you Always Got to Worry about your Fellow Passenger, -Who May say Something Like, -"What the Heck Do you Think you're Doing?!" And Perhaps so Obstruct and Interfere with you! But Also, -Others May Join In and Assist! -Seeing your Idea there as the Way and Ticket *Out*!
What Do some of you Think About either the Feasability, -or Non-Feasability, -of This? [color:"black"] [/color] [email]bountyhunter[/email]
