I've just been watching day of the triffids on BBC iPlayer, and in it one of the passengers of a plane that is going to crash locks himself in the bathroom with about 30 life vests and inflates them all as a cussion to the impending crash..
it got me thinking that it might not be a bad idea..
put air bags into the seats on airplanes that can be inflated in the event of a crash..
they'd have to be more than the momentary ones you get in cars though..
just something to soften any impact and to keep you in place in your seats...
they would have the added advantage of keeping the fuselage afloat in the event of a water landing..
