The angle looks the same from both levels. I imagine it would be an exciting ride. ;)

That's a very nice model. Most likely worth far more than my car. ::)

Have you noticed the strip of Velcro down the centre of the slide?
In an emergency the attendants supply all the passengers with a pair of  trousers with a Velcro patch sewn onto the rear.
This reduces the speed of descent somewhat.

At the moment this safety feature is only fitted to the A 380 Airbus series with very steep emergency slides.

Whether the idea is taken up by other operators depends of further tests being made to determin the possibility of passengers being permanantly stuck to the slide which would tend to slow down, or even prevent, an escape.

Further details can be found in Airworthiness Directive 442.35 v 23 1/2, Published by Fozzers Inc.

LOL... ;D...!

Err Fozzer would you classify soiling your trousers as lubricant or some kind of friction inducing substance?
