That is interesting. Where are they, and how do they work?


One is a small door on the right side equipped with a slide. When deployed,
the slide is very long and narrow, and often, I'm told, gets blown askew,
rendering it unusable. Even when used as designed, I'm told, it is a very
long run, resulting in a fairly high speed descent and a strong probability
of skin burns and other injuries.

The other is a roof hatch, slightly left of centerline and directly behind
the FE, used in conjunction with a body harness and inertia reel. Climb out
and just slide on down the side, trusting that the inertia reel will slow
your descent at the bottom as designed. If the aircraft is sitting on its
belly, sans gear, its about a 35 foot drop from the roof to the ground. My
guess is that the real trick would be to avoid all the probes, sensors, and
other pieces of metal projecting from the side of the craft on the way down.
Ouch!

Then again, if the 747 was crashed intact, catching the cayoones on an
antenna or pitot tube seems relatively minor. G


No, never relatively minor, but still better than death. I guess. g
