emergency slide
Aircraft escape inflatable
An emergency slide is an inflatable chute that deploys from an aircraft door to allow rapid evacuation.
Flight attendants demonstrate them in safety briefings, and they inflate automatically when doors open in emergency mode.
Deploying one unnecessarily—as a dramatic resignation gesture—grounds the plane and brings federal charges: He pulled the emergency slide and slid off into unemployment.
