I went to Europe in the mid 1980s on a 767 a few months after it was approved "over water" (twin engine regs at the time) flights. We had a service deplaning in Paris, then back on to Zurich.

The plane's at the ramp in Zurich, and we're waiting to get off, and waiting and waiting, and finally the line moves.

Exiting the plane, the extended, and deflated slide - from visible knife punctures - is pushed up along one side of the skyway.

Bottom line is that a slide problem existed some 30 years ago.
