EMB170/190 Cockpit door
My understanding of the blow out panels is to equalize the cabin and cockpit in case of decom. and also as a way out in case of an emergency. Now what is the deal with the blow out bags???? I never flew an A/C with this feature.

BLOWOUT PANELS
The reinforced cockpit door assembly possesses two blowout panels to
equalize sudden decompression. When a sudden decompression
occurs, the blowout bags automatically unfold and deploy forward.
The blowout bags installed within grill-protected openings maintain the
door’s full ballistic and impact-resistant characteristics even when
deployed.
Both blowout bags can be deployed with the observer seat in use and
without any type of interference or hazard to the observer.
A door grill opening equalizes the pressure in the event of decompression
in the passenger cabin area.
AOM 14-01-60 page 9.
The blow out panels have nothing to do with emergency egress. Who ever told you that needs re-training.

also the question has its right place i think this should not be discussed here in the forum because this could give certain people certain ideas.
just a bit more cautious about my security inside the cockpit!
