BA A380 Chute Accidentally Deployed LAX

your idea is nice but it requires more training for the handling agent's staff and thus it is not going to happen.

This happens more often in airlines across the world than you would expect. Most of the time though the chute will drop out onto the steps and not deploy - it needs to drop a certain distance to disengage the inflation pin.

BA268 now landed safely at LHR. 4 hours behind schedule. I believe the door sensor was faulty after the removal of the slide and a new one had to be replaced. Non event really, nothing to see, move on.
Or, like on Air China's (CAAC) old Tu154, leave it to the passenger to deploy the slide. I had the "lucky seat" on one domestic flight, fortunately didn't have reason to act.
Fortunately since I have seen clearer instructions included with cheap Chinese gadgets.
