This happens from time to time with all airlines, and usually results in the crew member being grounded pending re-training.

It is very rare that the chute actually inflates as they are normally caught by the steps or airbridge. They have to fall a couple of feet before they automatically inflate. I assume that this is what happened with EZY.
