Stand up in the aisle and refuse to sit down, knowing you'll probably look ridiculous or hysteric at some stage?
Who cares about looking ridiculous when instead you might end up looking terminally dead? Blowing the slides is IMHO over the top and might get you charged with reckless endangerment and property damage regardless of whether your concerns were justified or not. Making a scene and refusing to sit down will get you the same result but with less liability. Or are FR pilots now under so much pressure to start at any cost that they would take off with a hysterical passenger on board?
