An inflatable flotation device includes a main body having a distal end and a proximal end configured to be positioned nearer to the aircraft than the distal end, the main body configured to inflate to provide an evacuation route. The inflatable flotation device further includes an extendable portion coupled to the proximal end of the main body and having a plurality of segments coupled together. The inflatable flotation device further includes a weighted object coupled to the extendable portion and configured to cause the extendable portion to extend in response to a distance from the proximal end of the main body being equal to or greater than a threshold distance.
