"Second hand coffins, cheap!" -Stan, slaps lid of coffin
Not really worse than standing on the train for hours. But, standing on a train doesn't make the ride cheaper. So, in some ways better than standing on the train
Next stage: inject you with strong sedatives and pack the plane with the bodies
I mean honestly though, I'm kinda here for that. It's essentially teleportation at that point.
This is starting to remind me of the show severance lol
I mean, I'm broke as shit. So if it halved the cost of the tickets I'd do it, but I'm 99% sure I'd be paying close to the same.
I don’t get it. Why not just have bunk beds and everyone gets to lay down like those sleeper busses in Asia. They get way more people on those busses than with just seats
Velcro them to the walls!
For what it's worth: this was apparently a concept created by an airline seat company called Aviointeriors who showed the idea off at trade shows in 2010 (as the "SkyRider") and 2018 (as the "SkyRider 2.0" pictured here.) Pretty much all the news articles about it are about Aviointeriors claiming vague unsourced "plans" for them to be adopted by some future date, steeped in Aviointeriors' corporate PR speak, but the articles mostly end up being about the intense public backlash to the idea. No airlines have announced any plans to buy and use these seats, not even those lunatics at RyanAir, and in the years since all SkyRider mentions have been quietly removed from Aviointeriors' own site.

The fact this company is still around makes me think someone with a lot of money is trying to promote the concept every so often just to see if the public might finally accept this ludicrous idea. A company being around for 15 years with 0 sales and just a concept means someone wants this to happen but thinks the only problem is that they haven't figured out the right pitch.
Standing still in place for a few hours is waaay more uncomfortable than pacing and walking around. Shifting the weight on our feet really helps
I can't imagine how awful these would be, especially with how cramped they'd be packed in (otherwise they're no smaller than chairs). God, you couldn't even bend down to scratch your knee.
I remember seeing pictures like this a looking time ago so I'm pretty sure they're fake bait. At best it's an idea somebody prototyped but won't use.
Cowards just need to go all in and hang us under the plane like an overhead roller coaster.
I'm over 40 and I usually stand up about half of my working day. But I wouldn't want to stand in an airplane because it's cramped.
I'm tall enough I can't stand up on any plane I've been on in the last several years....
I'd pay extra to not have to deal with the TSA as well.
I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.
E: plenty of people arguing like people of good health will be the only passengers.
What could go wrong standing for two hours... Nothing probably if you're a healthy young individual
People are often advised to not lock their knees for a long time while standing (ex: marching band, or standing at attention in the military), and you cannot force anyone to have healthy posture. The ergonomics of these seats appear to take some of the load off the legs and feet, but it's something to consider for patrons with more sedentary lifestyles. Many people believe themselves to be fit individuals until they are placed in uncomfortable conditions for a long time or experience unexpected stress. They could manage to injure themselves in some way, then find some reason to litigate.
How fat you would have to be to pass out from standing for 2 hours?
I don't know about how much fat it might take, but my 2 knee surgeries and both my deteriorating hip joints, (been searching eBay for a good used hip joint for cheap), tell me that standing for 2 hours is a painful idea.
They will lock in place and you will be gucci for 10 hours
Afterwards you just ask this 6'3 bear like guy to give you a slight kick and off the ramp you slide out like a newborn out of uterus
Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You'll stand 14 hours and you'll love it, peasant.
honestly might even be more healthy
Only if you do it on a regular basis, not a one-shot like this (if you do not stand a lot usually).
Also, Turbulence!
apparently trombosis is a rather large problem even when flying only occasionally for vacations. That's what I meant.
But yeah, turbulences could give you a headache lol
banana chair
That's right, girls. Start packing on those pounds because the only airline seat that poops, then lies about it doesn't have farts in the headrest anymore.
I’ve read this repeatedly without any concept of what you’re saying but goddamn is it provocative and gets me going.
