Tonight on BBC2 and repeated Monday 16Feb, lightweight little piece using the A380 as a vehicle for explaining winglets, composites, rapid inflation (of sliderafts), and basic suspension springs/dampers presented by Richard Hammond of Top Gear.
He does a very good demonstration of how NOT to jump and sit on the slide.
He should have spoken to a CC SEP instructor or, if precluded by his serious injuries sustained in the high speed flip about a year ago, have let someone else demonstrate the correct technique for exiting in an emergency.
Very unfortunate example of negative training which could cost lives.
