Before it is pressurized, yes. But still not a good idea to try.

From what I’ve read - the cabin pressure won’t allow the door to be opened.

“Once airborne, a pressurized aircraft’s doors can not be opened. This is true for pilots, flight attendants, and passengers. Why? For the simple reason that cabin pressure won’t allow it.”

It would still scare the hell outta me though.

A few weeks ago I went skydiving for the second time. It was a tandem jump so I was connected to my instructor. A sport jumper deplaned at a lower altitude so my job was to close the airplane door in flight.

It was a roll up, like a garage door. Unpressurized aircraft of course.

Did the flight attendant then get a rabies shot?
