Results are presented of specific areas of study; i.e.: (1) passenger evacuation time lapses with and without the presence of canes; (2) emergency exiting advantages and disadvantages with and without the presence of canes; (3) the utility of surrogate canes of the folding and telescoping varieties; (4) the movement of an unsecured cane during a high g deceleration; (5) the utility of a cane inside an aircraft during an emergency evacuation; and (6) implications of a passenger carrying a cane while descending an evacuation chute. The test program described involved evacuation tests from the Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) evacuation simulation test facility, crash simulation tests conducted on the CAMI track, and static loading of different cane types to the failure point.
