I must say I did imagine if I were ever in the back during an evac I’d be quite vocally telling pax bag down get out with maybe a few stronger words scattered in there too..
…or members of their family?

The proven practice of some loco's separating families (in an attempt to extract more money in seat reservation fees) is in my view an issue that the regulator should also take a look at. It is a natural instinct that family members will want to ensure the safety of their children / partners and as such it has the potential to inhibit evacuation.
