Depends.

It really depends on the aircraft. Thats why all you frequent flyers that think you know it all should pay attention during the flight safety briefing before takeoff. If you are in an emergency situation trying to escape, who cares if you damage the aircraft door? NOT ME! Those doors usually are quite heavy; thats why they ask able bodied people to sit in emergency exits. In training- the one we lifted was 60 pounds.
