evacuation slide
Aircraft escape ramp
An evacuation slide is an inflatable chute attached to an aircraft door, deployed in emergencies to allow rapid exit from the plane to the ground.
Flight attendants demonstrate them during safety briefings: In the event of an emergency, evacuation slides will deploy automatically.
Some double as life rafts if the plane lands on water.
