It happened to us parked at the jetway once. The slide filled the entranceway and I believe, pinned someone for a while. Since then there are photographic instructions posted in the jetways instructing you how to deflate those things. It's fortunate nobody was hurt.

Are there deflation rings or something on those things? Other than the crash axe, what are the techniques to pop them?
