What should passengers attach to the eyelet on the wing after exiting through the OWE?

Explanation:
When evacuating through an over-wing exit, a lifeline is provided for use on the wing. After you step onto the wing, you attach the lifeline to the eyelet on the wing. This line serves as a tether you can hold onto as you move toward the exit path and, if needed, down to the ground. It helps you stay balanced on the wing and provides a controlled way to descend in windy or slippery conditions. A liferaft isn’t used for this scenario, and a plain rope or seat belt wouldn’t give the fixed anchor and grip needed for safe movement on the wing.
