Emergency Exit

What are the chances that you'll ever use an emergency exit on an airplane? It seems that in most plane crashes you would be able to comfortably walk out of the open fuselage - assuming you survive.

Still, there is some comfort in knowing that proper exits are available - not to mention the extra leg room. That's why I was a little concerned about the row of seats blocking a third of the exit door on my recent China Eastern flight.



I would have thought there were rules against this.
