At the gate this morning on a flight, the evacuation slide deployed (well, fell off) from the aircraft. I don't think it deployed, as we deplaned they were examining a pile of uninflated rubber over to the side of the jet bridge.

Anyone now why that would happen? It was an A319-100. I'd think that if they left the slides armed, then it should have inflated and damaged the jet bridge. Just curious if I'll see this in the next few days on Aviation Herald.

In other news, does anyone know how one gets a job testing airplane slides? Or even just for a weekend?!
