I used to fly for one of Australia's civil search & rescue organisations. We'd tool around at 200' to drop liferafts. Before we'd even load the rafts we'd position knives all through the cabin. Taped to the walls, ceiling, next to each crew member position etc.

The drill was that if a raft popped then everyone except the pilot flying had to grab the nearest knife & start slashing as fast as possible.
