I’m surprised this one hasn’t had a mention. The image of people on the wing, with luggage, is especially insightful.

The lack of an off wing slide is interesting, and I wonder if that’s yet another Boeing exemption. The equivalent Airbus has them.

Maybe grandfathered? We are supposed to use the extended wing flaps to gracefully slide off the wing to the ground!

Erm! So many questions

Aren't the instructions NOT to open the over-wing exits if you can see smoke or flames outside the window?

If there is a fire, why would you stand on top of the fuel tanks?

Juan Browne covered this:

Check out the diagram he shows where the height of the deployed flaps ( where are you Are meant to slide off) compared to the ground is about a body length.
