Curious now, I wonder, is it possible to get data on the fatal and serious? In terms of 'how' the accidents occurred. It would be interesting to see what were the cause of the damage. I mean how many missed the slide, or fell off the wing and how many were caused by 'panic-push'; from those behind them.
I'd like to see that data as well. The takeaway I got from the 737 Evac report I read was to station the f/O or a cabin crew member at the bottom of the slide to move people on as they get to the bottom because injuries occurred as people piled up. That is just one incident and only my own thoughts so if someone could point us towards a study of how the evacuation injuries actually happen it would really add to this discussion.
