A special seat to be used in planes. In the imminence of a crash the seat automatically encapsulates the passenger (by wrapping itself around him) in a secure and virtually indestructible capsule provided with oxygen for many hours and completely harmless to the encapsulated body.
It works like an automobile
air bag involving the driver completely but safely.

[bcast], welcome to the halfbakery. Please read the help file, over there on the left, under "meta". |
|

Hey normzone, if you find something wrong with the post, could you just say what's wrong? You sound as if a mere glance at the helpfile will make everything obvious, or as if everybody should read it, neither of which is true... |
|
| |
I was under the impression that everybody should read the helpfile, but I could be mistaken. |
|
| |
And I read the helpfile again after I annoed above - the helpfile is well enough written (unlike most) that it pretty much does make most everything obvious. |
|
| |
But in this case I'm not seeing any explanation for what happens to all that g force. I guess if the entire jetliner was a one seater of collapsible stages you might be able to buffer the shock into manageable doses, but it's going to play hell with airfares. |
|
| |
What if someone is standing up when the seats go off? That's not gonna be good. |
|
| |
And what if someone had a limb in the way of the closing shell? Would that hurt? |
|
| |
Will they have an inbubble movie for while you wait to be freed? |
|
| |
This would encapsulate the resulting mess. |
|
| |
I would replace the //secure and virtually indestructible capsule// with bubble-wrap. That way, even if you're seriously injured, you can still have some fun on the ride down. |
|
| |
This kinda' reminds me of the whole "why don't we make the plane out of the stuff the black box is made of?" question. |
|
| |
Also, would they have one in the bathroom? |
