Evacuation slide/raft daisy chain release mechanism

An aircraft, the aircraft comprising:

• an emergency evacuation slide/raft, the emergency evacuation slide/raft comprising:
• a girt;
• a daisy chain assembly configured to couple the girt to a girt sleeve affixed to the aircraft, wherein the daisy chain assembly comprises a plurality of daisy chained loops thereby forming a plurality of daisy chained loop couplings;
• a release mechanism weaved under each daisy chained loop coupling of the plurality of daisy chained loop couplings;
• a release pin coupled to the daisy chain assembly;
• and
• a pull handle configured to, responsive to being pulled, release the release pin and pull the release mechanism so as to uncouple the plurality of daisy chained loop couplings.

A method of releasing an emergency evacuation slide/raft from an aircraft, the method comprising:

• pulling a pull handle associated with the emergency evacuation slide/raft, wherein:
• pulling the pull handle releases a release pin retaining a daisy chain assembly coupling a girt of the emergency evacuation slide/raft to a girt sleeve affixed to the aircraft;
• and
• pulling the pull handle pulls a release mechanism so as to uncouple a plurality of daisy chained loop couplings of the daisy chain assembly.
