Narrative:

Upon arrival; we were towed in and once plane had stopped; announcement to disarm doors was made. I went to door and in a split second of not thinking; pushed the button on side and pulled lever. Door started to rise and slide blew out within seconds. I actually went over to the door and performed the procedure for arming the door and before I had time to do anything else; the door had risen and slide deployed as already stated. I just want to say how really sorry I am that this happened and I can't apologize to the company enough as I am fully aware of how much these sort of incidents cost the company.
