Me too. We need to get the aviation "experts" on the news to relay this information. Most people aren't aware just how much them grabbing their bag delays the evacuation or the fact that their bag could puncture the slide. Maybe this should be included in the safety video, but that likely wouldn't make the video fun, upbeat, and social media friendly.

The overhead bins could be modified with remote-actuated locks which engaged for T/O and LDG, and released only by the pilots once you're airborne or at the gate. More weight and cost though, so somebody will probably have to die first.

And let's not forget about those pesky emergency equipment stashes that exist in overhead bins. It would be completely unnecessary.
