I watched the certification evacuations for the BAe ATP which has somewhat larger emergency overwing exits that the B737.

One very petite lady not only managed to open the exit and throw it out but nearly took the "catcher" off the wing, such was the force she was able to muster.

She was untrained in opening windows but had observed the emergency briefing as one would hope our fellow passengers have done.
