A method for deploying an inflatable slide includes increasing pressure within the inflatable slide, increasing a load in a force releasing member and a dampener, both of which are attached to the inflatable slide, in response to the increasing pressure within the evacuation slide, the load being increased at a slower rate than would occur if the dampener were not present, separating the force releasing member, and inflating the inflatable slide.

A passenger door arrangement for an aircraft segment, which arrangement comprises a passenger door that is configured to assume a raised state and a lowered state, and a girt bar for arming and disarming an escape slide, the girt bar not altering its position relative to the passenger door in the transition from disarming to arming when the passenger door is in the lowered state. Also an aircraft segment, which comprises the passenger door portion and a fuselage portion, an external engagement means being fixed to the fuselage portion.

An arm restraint assembly configured to pierce a canopy in response to expulsion of an ejection seat from a cockpit may comprise a primary arm configured to pivot relative to the ejection seat. A canopy piercer may be coupled to the primary arm. The primary arm may be configured to rotate to a fully-deployed position while located within the cockpit. An apex of the canopy piercer may be oriented toward the canopy, when the primary arm is in the fully-deployed position.

A passenger door arrangement for an aircraft segment, which arrangement comprises a passenger door, which is configured to assume a raised state and a lowered state, and a “girt bar,” for arming and disarming an escape slide, the girt bar not altering its position relative to the passenger door in the transition from disarming to arming, when the passenger door is in the lowered state. Additionally an aircraft segment, which comprises the passenger door portion and a fuselage portion, an external engagement arrangement being fixed to the fuselage portion.
