B 737 NG Overwing exits

Hi all,

It’s been a while since I flew the NG and a colleague posed the following question to me recently that I need some help with.

From memory, the overwing exits were locked closed from setting takeoff thrust to weight on wheels at landing.

What enables the overwing exits to be opened in a ditching then ?
(As the weight on wheels switch will not have been activated in a ditching).

Also, can these exits be opened from the outside after a ditching ?

Any official references would be appreciated.
