Have you ever seen such an area.

How about a practice area for airplane slides?

I think this would be an extremely valauble safety training.
i've definitely thought there was value in having something like this (admittedly I was looking at the kitty play area at SLC on the way to the UA gates) ... but seriously shouldn't there be some sort of certification program for you to be permitted to sit in exit rows, e.g. that you can actually lift that 40 (?) lb door and move it onto the seats or throw it out the door depending on the plane you're on.
