Has already been done to the satisfaction of the certification board. That is the vid on YouTube. If you watch closely, there are only two injuries.... the last two people out of the plane..... both crew. One of them 'hops' into the slide but the idiot lands on his butt on the door threshold (ouch). He compressed his lower spine, and needed eleven very personal stitches. The other one went down the slide sideways after hooking his pants belt on the girt bar, and landed at the bottom of the slide head first. In that both of these highly trained crew were French, neither one sustained injuries to a part of the body that a Frenchman would ever use normally anyway.
