During evacuation, if the slide pack falls into the cabin, what should you do?

• A. Push or kick slide out of aircraft
• B. Inform cabin crew and wait
• C. Raise the alarm
• D. Retain the slide and remain seated

Answer: (A)

In an evacuation, the priority is to have a clear, usable exit for everyone to get off quickly. If the slide pack falls into the cabin, it can block the door and prevent the slide from deploying properly outside. The fastest, safest action is to push or kick the slide out of the door so it can inflate outside and provide a ready path for passengers to slide down and exit. Waiting, staying seated, or simply signaling others won’t remove the obstacle or speed up egress. While informing crew is useful, the immediate step at the door is to get the slide out so the exit can be used.
