Killaroo. No - it wasn't a no brainer - duh.....

Barking mad. On the ground in an emergency situation, I would far rather risk a few injuries down the slide than having my passengers trapped on a burning or smoke filled aircraft. Just look at the video of the 737 at Naha some time ago. If they had rethought that for just a minute longer, there may have been a very different outcome. The downside risk of SERIOUS injuries during an evacuation is very small. So, no - I will not rethink my thinking on this matter.
