A figure jumping onto an inflated chute from an aircraft door.
Also known as: Evacuation slide symbol, Escape chute symbol, Slide raft symbol
The emergency slide symbol shows a figure leaving an aircraft door onto an inflated chute, arms forward and feet first. The posture is the instruction: the correct action is to jump out and land sitting on the slide, rather than to sit down at the sill and push off, because sitting first is slower and the queue behind matters more than the individual. The pictogram appears on safety cards and beside doors that carry a slide.
Instructs a passenger to jump out and land sitting on the chute rather than to sit at the sill and push off, which is slower and delays everybody behind.
