Hey, low blood coffee is a real illness

Also, Idiots not following simple safety instructions like this deserve no mercy.

I’ve seen this type of situation before. The basic idea is, the woman has low worldly awareness and isn’t in full control of her actions in that sort of state.

I had a student in my class who was over-dieting get up from her seat, walk towards the window absent mindedly, and fall over.

It’s a small implication but I think the fact that the person in the comic didn’t throw their hands out to stop the fall hinted to the flight attendant there was something very wrong with them beyond the turbulence.

I think the situation is that people who have hypolycemic attacks can go into a fugue where they don't know what they're doing.

I once had heat stroke (after PT in Panama). The guys said I just walked out of formation, ran into the Sargent, and then fell flat on my face. All I remember was standing in formation after a run, getting tunnel vision, and then waking up in the clinic.

The bubbles around her head as she's walking indicate something's going on. Although mine wasn't blood sugar, I feel this comic.

Yes, they definitely do deserve mercy.

But they also deserve to be put under scrutiny when flying again to make sure this happens again. Not as punishment but for their own protection.
