Aussie Surprise of the Month. The Airline safety slide

In 1965 Jack Grant, a safety officer for Qantas Airways, invented the inflatable aircraft escape slide, which doubles as a life raft during crashes at sea. These slides are now standard safety equipment on all major airlines. For example, you’d have seen them in action when US Airways Flight 1549's captain Chesley Sullenberger belly-whacked his Airbus A320 on New York’s Hudson River.
