B737-4xx escape slide question

Sitting in the overwing exit row today, perfectly happy with the idea of opening the door in an emergency I got to wondering what happens next. The safety card shows inflatable slides for the front and rear doors but nothing for the overwing exits. Is there a slide for these exits as there is on some Airbuses or is the idea to hope that the flaps are extended and slide down them? It is a bit of a drop from the trailing edge otherwise. If you get the landing room you'll end up as a human crash mat for the rest of the pax following you out
Perhaps some cabin crew know the drill here.
