These standing seats have been coming next year for the past decade, but they always failed safety tests. Planes need to be evacuated within a certain time frame, which does not work when the plane is too densely packed.
Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025

Did the stronger younger people try pushing the frail and children out of the way during these safety tests? Because I feel like the plane world empty quickly in that scenario

"Do you feel capable of opening the exit in case of an emergency?"
- Yes.
"Do you feel capable of throwing the old woman behind you of of the window in case of an emergency?" - What?
"Do you know how to punch someone unconscious if they fall to hysteria in case of an emergency?" - I would like to leave the plane now.
- Yes.

Can’t they go Middle Earth on them and just create more doors?

Pilots were asked about the problem and one said “I sen guards to the exits to help with the evacuation.”

I think we should relax rules on how quickly it is to evaluate a plane, and focus more on keeping the plane in the sky. (looking at you Boeing)
I'd love sleeping pods or bunk beds on a plane and accept the higher risk of not being able to get out quickly.
Cars and probably even train are infinitely more dangerous and we accept those risks every day.
owl@infosec.pub 11 months ago
I don’t think loosening regulations in one place will help in other places.
Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 11 months ago
And if we are making rules about exiting a plane it should apply to when the plane lands normally. There is absolutely no reason it takes 30+ to get the fuck off the plane
Akasazh@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Why not both?
Saleh@feddit.org 11 months ago
There is no legitimate reason why trains or cars should be more dangerous modes of transport than flights. It is just that the lobbies for cars and capitalist train operations successfully desensitized everyone to it, so “deadly car crash” is just shrugged away. In the US we see similar attempts to make planes less safe and just accept the numbers of people killed in preventable events.

You need to fly somewhere? Okay, fuck you.

Honestly, I’m pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I’d like to have the option
I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve always imagined it would be like the seats on a stand-up rollercoaster, which are admittedly pretty comfortable.

No idea who fetterman is, I just image-searched “tall man in plane”
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Someone who won on progressive ideals and then immediately stabbed his constituents in the back by going full Democrat.

Will the height be adjustable? Otherwise the sitting thing will be either way to low or poking the backs of most people.
Demdaru@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Insert short people dangling from them like kids from walkers xD

Why do you assume there will be leg room?
Dave@lemmy.nz 11 months ago
Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.
Carrot@lemmy.today 11 months ago
This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you can stand up in a plane outside of the aisle, you’re not tall.
tatann@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Most people can’t stand outside of the aisle because this area is meant to be seated (so they put storage space above the head). If the area outside the aisle is meant to be stood (not sure of my english), and they don’t remove the storage above the head, people are in their right to luigi those decision makers.
WereCat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Finally more leg room… But now you head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have to lean sideways anyway because my shoulders are too broad and the side of the plane is round.
There’s so much about flying that sucks as a big person.
My knees are folded up to my chest. I’m leaning to the right to stay off the fuselage. I can’t be in an aisle seat because I’m in the way of the crew, and I have to lean forward the whole time because someone is in the seat next to me. And that person hates me.
My dread of the flying experience is why I never go on vacations.
tatann@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Same answer as above

This looks like a pain in the balls in case of turbulence
RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Some would probably enjoy some turbulence in their ass.

So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?
Akasazh@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Well strapped to a sightly ergonomic plank upright is pretty safe, even better if you face away from the direction of the crash.
WereCat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You need to pass yoga test to afford this seat
lectricleopard@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe they could replace that with a noose that comes down next to the oxygen. Then, if you get claustrophobic, you get off the plane any time you want.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That would require assisted suicide to be legal.

The only reason airlines would have you do that in the first place is so you can kiss your ass goodbye.

Can I just sit on the floor like on a train in Poland?
yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Thats outdated thing, Polish trains now require You to play tetris, stack layers, that somehow doesn’t disappear. It’s like first person do sit on floor, then 2nd person sit on 1st, then 3rd sit on 2nd, and so on. Lucky ones who sit on toilet instead.
RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 11 months ago
If you do not sit on the toilet, you become the toilet.
