High wind question
The forecasted high winds for next week have got me thinking. Given the scenario of not being able to use conventional disembarking methods (airstairs/bridge) and holding pax onboard till the wind eases, what would happen in the event of an emergency evacutation?
If it's too windy to safely use normal equipement, at what point would the emergency slides/chutes become dangerous to use? I can imagine inflating them, only for the wind to get underneath and flip them on their side, turfing the user unceremoniously onto the tarmac below... Lawsuit anyone?
