  Title: STS-41 MS Akers tumbles out of JSC's CCT during egress exercises
  Description:
  STS-41 Mission Specialist (MS) Thomas D. Akers, wearing a launch and entry 
  suit (LES) and launch and entry helmet (LEH), tumbles out of JSC's crew 
  compartment trainer (CCT) during side hatch emergency egress exercises.
  Using  the crew escape system (CES) pole, Akers simulated the procedures
  necessary  to bailout of the Shuttle during the ascent phase.  A technician
  assists  Akers, rolling across an inflated safety pad, as a second
  technician looks  on.  In the open side hatch, another crewmember prepares
  for egress.
