When the slide inflates, what should passengers do?

• A. Sit and slide!
• B. Stand up immediately.
• C. Run away from the slide.
• D. Await further commands.

Answer: (A)

Once the slide inflates, stay seated and slide down. The inflatable escape slide is designed for a controlled, seated descent, which keeps you stable on the slippery surface and prevents injuries from feet or belongings getting snagged. Sliding feet first and keeping your arms inside helps protect your head and allows others to evacuate smoothly. After you reach the ground, move away from the exit so others can use the slide. Standing up, running, or waiting for more commands would risk injury and slow the evacuation.
