It does appear that the water pressure from the hose was too much for the handler to cope with. But, would the slide not disengage if the hatch was opened from the outside? |

Some years ago there was an incident with a Delta 767 in a maintenance hanger that had an "automatic" fire supression system that, for whatever reason, was inadvertently activated.
