Here is the secret to surviving one of these crashes: Be male. In a 1970 Civil Aeromedical Institute study of three crashes involving emergency evacuations, the most prominent factor influencing survival was gender {followed closely by proximity to exit}. Adult males were by far the most likely to get out alive. Why? Presumably because they pushed everyone else out of the way.
