Remember the good old 727 when I was a First Officer and the girl at 1L blew a slide after pushback, cause a door strap was stucking in. She was near to tears but the ultra cool captain calmed her down.
Later on he filed a report for the beancounters, saying...
"After pushback door 1L had to be opened. Lever was in position "Flight", slide worked fine as per design."
