Super-80 Emergency Exits and Slides

This video was created by the McDonald Douglas company to train flight attendants on the use of emergency exits, doors and slides on the DC-9-80 (also called the Super 80). The aircraft featured during the slide training is from Long Beach's Jet America. The Super-80 had three exit doors, four overwing exits and a tailcone slide. Note: today's modern variant, the B-717, has emergency equipment slightly different to that of the Super-80. The B-717 evacuation slides now deploy automatically from the floor level exits, and the tailcone slide is housed in a yellow container.

@1993GOS Obviously the tail cone was carried away in a big net to protect it from being damaged, after filming the video it had to be re-installed again. these tailcones are made from fiber glass material and are very fragile to impact.

This seems like a joke compared to the near automatic instant emergency evacuation procedures on multi engined aircraft these days.
