For the rest of the populations, how about a course you can attend at your local airport to prove you have what it takes (run through drills, etc.) so whilst it can't guarantee you won't panic in an emergency, at least you would be far better prepared to act?
Emma: Once again, you logical sense come through.

I agree with this same system where you go for a test at airport and re-tested every so many years to earn a "license to sit in exit row".

Until then the FA has right of final decision and I would agree that denial due to having mobility assist device is a safe decision.
