Hopefully on topic.........
Early 90'ties, China domestic flight, half full Tupolev 154. Me seated in B, no seat where A should be, just a crate. Instruction printed on crate:
1. Open emergency exit, throw door out. Check (Just outside with inches to spare was a small jet engine.)
2. Open crate door. Check
3. Take out slide and remove ropes. Check
4. Throw slide out window. Check
5. Open valve on gas bottle. Check

No, no one asked if I was fit for the job. No one gave me any instruction and nothing happened that required me to put on my super hero costume. Just as well, had probably mixed up 4. and 5.
