Abstract:Twenty-nine survivable aircraft accidents between 1970 and 1995 required the emergency evacuation of 67 infants. Thirty-four percent of the infants received minor to fatal injuries. With the exception of full-scale Type Certifications in which infant dolls are included but not studied, simulated emergency evacuations and evacuation research rarely include infants and young children. The purpose of this study was to determine the most favorable protocol for the evacuation of infants via an inflatable emergency evacuation slide.
