Narrative:
Upon opening door 1-L [on a B737-800 aircraft] the [slide] girt bar bounced into the edge of fuselage and dropped into clips on the floor. The slide pack started to fall out. I held the door halfway open while the lead flight attendant tried to disarm and relatch the [girt] bar. We were unable to relatch the bar and the captain crawled out while I held the door part way open and together we opened the door and slid the slide around out of the passenger's way. The slide never inflated nor was the pin released. The captain tried to push the slide back into the cover but it would not go back. Maintenance was called to fix it. Not sure [what to suggest]; as we did nothing wrong.
