![]() "Morgans" wrote in message news:jlq7g.84 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! |
