If cabin crew wastes precious time subduing or restraining especially unruly passengers, those are precious seconds slipping away that will make it all the more likely that people will die. What happens in those types of situations? Is there a protocol? [/quote]

This is why crew wont' argue if you're about to jump off onto the slide with your carry-on. It's quicker to just let you do it than argue and waste time.

In general, I think an evacuation of a plane full of Americans would be worse than a plane full of Japanese, as the Japanese society is more about rule-following and what's the best for the society not the individual.

Where Americans will come out ahead is if the situation dictates the need for rule breaking. Think of 9/11 and the flight that crashed in PA. It's because, instead of following the rules and listening to the hijackers, some passengers stood up and overpowered them, potentially avoiding a much worse disaster. That wasn't in the rule book.[/quote]
