Chesty and Maude,
Pitot tube spearing and sprained ankles was precisely what passed through my mind. I had suspected Maude's comment of being just slightly tongue-in-cheek, even suggesting that the side windows might have been used since it seems (ok, 20-20 hindsight!) that the aircraft wasn't in imminent danger of becoming a fireball. Yes I remember the 737 fire, but wasn't that a complete surprise, during refuelling? Not quite the same thing. I would have thought the check list and a bit of snooping around the cabin to satisfy natural curiosity would have kept them busy for at least a few minutes.
