Escape Straps
Escape straps are installed above each aft emergency exit door frame. The escape
doors must be opened to expose the straps. One end of the strap is attached to the
door frame. The remainder of the strap is stowed in a tube extending into the cabin
ceiling. To use, the strap is pulled free from its stowage and attached to a ring on
the top surface of the wing. The escape strap can be used as a hand hold in a
ditching emergency for passengers to walk out on the wing and step into a life raft.
