Not only is the test with able bodied people, they also are permitted to practice first to make the time.
But - the test handles this by only giving them 90 seconds. In the real world it would take far longer, but rather than testing a longer, more realistic test, they do a really fast one instead.
- DocTomoe 4y agoThe test is about whether such an evacuation is theoretically possible, not if it is realistic under any conceivable circumstance (half the plane gone, blocked exits, plane resting at an incline, smoke and/or fire and/or water in the cabin...). If the happy-path evacuation isn't possible to begin with, e.g. for design reasons, the more complicated realistic ones will be negatively affected as well.
