I agree...What's wrong with walking walker :)
I thought flying backwards sounded great but what about take off lol
I think my habit of watching plane crashes documentaries has made me not wanting to ever join a flight. soo scared to sit in a flight. wondering how to ever outside my country.

THAT is a great, great idea! and it's a common sense solution, too.
and for those get-sick people, give them the option to face forward.
better yet, rotating seats!
ok, so planes are reliable. true, they are meticulously maintained and have a great safety record. the problem is, and it's a big one, is that if you're unfortunate enough to be in one, chances are, you WILL die. horrifically, i might add. because it won't be quick. sheer, like 10++, terror for a minute or 2, then squish.
if i have an accident in a car, there's a good chance it'll be survivable. and it's usually instant - over b4 you know it.
THAT'S what scares me - the virtual guarantee of death.
Don't assume the crash position....assume the f*kng worst! :)
well....how can anyone argue with you on this safety tip.
@smugg better sick than dead
:'(
I hate flying, I get all dissy and I freak out and start crying...
if i catch you on my flight i will knock you unconscious...i warn you.
I don't get the fears of flying. Been doing about at least twice-a-year since the age of 6. Because of the simple fact that you're IN THE AIR, planes are meticulously designed and built to not fall from the sky. And they're thoroughly tested as well. They don't just slap shit together and let you walk on without any foresight toward your life.
What don't you understand about the fact that some people have phobias?
i suspect you might be the one to wail and scream the loudest....i just have a strong feeling about this.
@Inyuki
travelling backwards makes me sick.
how about upside down, then right side up, then sideways all in one shot? you scaredy cat. get a spine.
ENGEERS, PLEASE, REVERSE PASSANGER SEATS on cars, airplanes, busses, etc., and reduce the rate of injuries in accidents multiple times.
i hope you try this in your car....reversing down the freeway is definately safer. let me know how it turns out.
very good doc, the tips at the end are worth remembering
tips, i must have missed them.
survival tip #1:
get off the plane before it crashes & take the bus, instead.
if you need to go over water, take a boat, but watch the boat survival video first.
i like it, but i dont remember the stewardesses saying this in their safety tips. must mention it the next time i fly.
