...............Every aircraft is equipped with a slide/raft. This picture is a slide/raft of a B747 aircraft. It weighs 89.8 kg. It is 13.95m long and 9.8m high. In case of an emergency evacuation, all passengers are supposed to escape through this slide/raft. A slide is used for ground evacuation, and a raft is used for ditching. It can carry maximum 75 people when it is used as a raft. There are several ways to slide safely. First, your arms should be up. Second, sit upright and don’t lie down on the slide/raft. Third, keep looking at the spot where you’ll touch down. A slide/raft is very important and useful equipment that can save your life.
