On many different aircraft types, window exits are equipped with inflatable ramps or slides outside on the wings. These would be damaged or obstructed by tossing the
doors out of the opening. Emergency training procedures for flight crews is also standardized with one procedure for all aircraft. This eliminates the risk of doing the wrong thing on the wrong aircraft. Good question!
