: This study was performed with human participants. Thus, much of the experimental planning was devoted to participant safety and ethical considerations. Before the experiments were conducted, an ethics application was sent to the Swedish Ethical Review Authority, and ethical approval was granted. All participants gave consent prior to the experiment, but did not the true purpose of the experiment at this point. After the experiment, the participants were debriefed, and all gave a fully informed consent. The consent given before the experiment did not include the information that evacuation was part of the study. For this reason, participants had to give a second informed consent after the study to approve the use of the data collected. Also, participants were reimbursed with two movie tickets (approximate value of 250 SEK) after the experiment, regardless of the experiment being terminated or not. The videos and questionnaires were anonymised so that participants could not be linked to the results after the experiment.
