Talk:Evacuation slide

Is operation similar to an airbag in a car
I am inproficient in aviation. That's why, anyone like me can only guess that's the mechanism is similar. Especially reading such words "...a pin will be pulled from a squib containing compressed gas and the slide will inflate..." which is exactly similar to an airbag IMHO more detains sould be added to this section of article
 * as I understand, a squib is a small explosive, which exerts a lot of gas pressure when ignited. And all the gas is used for the evacuation slide inflation.
 * or, a squib is used to pierce a seal of some container with pressurized gas.

Its NOT an airbag anyhow
As its read from article, its rather "fire extinguisher". With a gas compressed ina container. But anyway its interesting to know, why a mechanism similar to airbag is not in use. GK tramrunner (talk) 01:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Evacuation chute ...
... should probably redirect to this article. The term is used in English speaking media and seems to refer to evacuation slides. If there is a differcence betwenn evacuation chutes and evacuation slides, this article should explain this difference.--ペーター (talk) 04:36, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
