I hear airlines are just floating in cash and can easily set up an emergency slide to play on. And hey, with the kind asininely paranoid society that we live in now, an area in every airport for people to practise sliding would just dismiss the preposterous myth that we are over-obsessed with safety.

We should have a jaws of life simulated training on every freeway, set up an area in every school where kids can practise school shooting evacuations, and we should designate a place in every city where people can practise evacuating floods.

I think this would be an extremely valauble safety training.
