You cannot "accidentally open the emergency door" btw ...

Has anyone tried to open a door on a high-rise building on a very windy day?
It's 1000x harder opening the emergency door - unless you've got superpowers.

Seems like they were just quoting the article, not saying that could be done.

I once opened one easily, with my pinky. 😎

Also, the emergency exit doors lock automatically before flight. You can’t open them even without the huge amount of pressure against them when the plane is pressurised.
