If a passenger attempts to open the emergency door during flight, it could lead to severe repercussions. Modern aircraft, however, have several security measures in place, making such actions nearly impossible. Nevertheless, if an emergency door somehow opens, the consequences could be dire.
While flying, cabin pressure remains higher compared to the outside environment. If an emergency door opens, the cabin pressure will rapidly diminish, potentially ejecting passengers and crew from the aircraft. Sudden decompression can result in passengers and objects being swiftly pulled outside, posing lethal risks. Furthermore, at such altitudes, oxygen levels are lower. Losing cabin pressure can make breathing difficult, leading to hypoxia, a dangerous lack of oxygen.
