According to reports, the story goes like this: the passengers in the back two rows heard the flight attendant say that they can only touch it in an emergency, and she wanted to try what would happen if they touched it under normal circumstances ... curiosity kills the cat.
The slide itself is a safety device installed on the hatch. Before inflation, it is folded and stored in the sliding bag of the cabin door. Only when the slide opens the hatch in the "standby" state will the slide automatically inflate and become our escape route. In normal flight operation, the slide must be in the "released" state, and when the door is opened, the slide will remain on the door.
Major domestic airlines have always had strict requirements for the operation of flight attendants' slides. As long as the slide is operated according to the rules, this kind of accident will not happen. The restoration of slides also requires a lot of time and process. First, it is necessary to check whether the slideway is damaged. If it is damaged, it can only be scrapped. If there is no damage, you need to inflate the inflatable bottle again and fold the slide back. The whole process is very complicated, time-consuming and expensive. So it is very important to ensure the normal operation and use of the slide.
