## Discrepancy

DURING INADVERTENT SLIDE DEPLOYMENT THE R1 DOOR SLIDE DID NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED.  AS THE SLIDE EXTENDED IT FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN.  IT WAS UNCLEAR DURING THE INVESTIGATION IF THE TECHNICIAN MAY HAVE HELD THE DOOR WHILE THE SLIDE WAS DEPLOYING CAUSING THE ISSUE WITH PROPER DEPLOYMENT.
