Slide fabric failures
With all the aircraft slide sample testing I have been involved with on different aircraft I have never had a failure due to fabric issues..
Maybe a different story from a workshop perspective.
Found failures due to cables not connected to firing bottles, safety pins left in bottles, pressure bottle leakage and unable to fully open door and door hinge operating chain not able to pull door. Slide air motors unable to fully inflate the slide, fan seizure. Slide girt bar not properly attached to the floor in auto mode, broken linkage..... these are a few from memory.
