The reason why it could be a safety hazard is now the aisles are full of bags. Watch how many people jumped off in those slides with their bags in hand. Crazy.
According to the official report, the time from the slides being deployed to evacuation completion was just 1 minute, 31 seconds, even with many passengers having baggage.

You asked once an aircraft is at the gate, engines off, what could go wrong. I showed a real life recent example.

If you don't believe that aisles blocked with baggage isn't a potential safety issue, then I'm sorry, I will never be able to make you understand.
