WARNING
Exercise extreme caution when gaining entry into the aircraft due to the emergency escape slide systems attached to each door and, depending on the aircraft, to over-wing exits as well. If opened from the outside, the escape slide may deploy and can seriously injure or kill unsuspecting emergency personnel.
