He knew that he was willing to help in the case of an emergency, but needed to double check that he was able before the stewardess came around and asked.

Good thing he checked too, because it turns out that no, he would not have been able to assist in an emergency. Well, other than opening the door and promptly falling out.

So yeah, that lever that says “OPEN” in big, bold, red letters? Don’t pull that!

But it says open! You cant just not open it! It’s like putting a shiny red button in front of me and telling me to not push it.

Didn't Douglas Adams write a bit around that in one of his books? It says, "Warning: Do not look into laser with remaining eyeball," or something to that effect?

Should have waited for a blowout by the unused emergency door like everyone else
