Fortunately I’ve never been in this situation. I think it’s hard to judge people based on these events otherwise - very much operating on adrenaline and instincts, grabbing bag could be very much a subconscious decision. Same as people in burning buildings who instinctively go for the way they came in, rather than the nearest exit.
Only way to stop it would be to ban cabin bags.
Still, if they’ve got out of that it’s a significant achievement by the crew.
EDIT - yes, of course I agree all bags should be left behind. Just for clarity!
