Continental Airlines sliding down Evacuation Slide on 737-200

November 16, 2010


This was taken on a Continental Airlines Boeing 737-200. Sliding down the evacuation slide. This particular aircraft had an emergency landing in Guatemala in 1999 and it now used by Continental Airlines for flight Training Center. It was very informative and I hope I never have to experience this in real life. I want to give many thanks to the wonderful Continental employees whom did an awesome job showing us around.

    @MatrixFactoryGuy agreed. I’m currently head of a worldwide lobby group to see these dangerous contraptions banned on all airlines. They’ll be replaced with a far safer flying-fox system. Passengers too overweight or feeble to use a flying-fox will unfortunately perish, however we expect to see electrocutions such as the one you described all but disappear.

    @MatrixFactoryGuy -wtf are you retarded!?!?!? its better to have a one in a thousand chance of being shocked to death, rather that a ninety out of one hundred chance of being incinerated in the plane. the slides rarely get used. idiot

    A friend of mine died from sliding down …he picked up so much static electricity sliding down that he was fatally shocked as he touched the attendants at the bottom and his heart stopped..his family is now suing the airline

    Escape slides are dangerous and should be banned

    @panamtwa Yes, you are, but we are not a real flight attendant class. Continental doesn’t want us to get hurt so we took it easy. We were there on a tour.
