I'm not sure that any major overhaul would produce any measurable benefits.Even events that are similar (a/c type, weather conditions) are unique - because you have a set of pax who have never been through it before.
You cannot legislate for pax and what they will do. Even if you showed them worst-case scenarios, they would not take it in because that is human nature.
I have now read the CAA report on Flybe G-FBEH as suggested by Korrol, it gives me confidence that the system of oversight is working. The shortcomings in the evacuation have been noted but will probably appear again but in a slightly different form which will produce different results. As always in life, luck may not be on your side.
