Not to mention the egress issues large safety equipment might cause. I can’t imagine an emergency deplane where everyone is effectively in inflatable sumo suits

- mrob 6y agoThis is a reasonable position, assuming you're also in favor of banning obese people from flights.
- WilTimSon 6y agoThere's a difference between people's own weight which they can't easily control or change and excessive personal protection which can be swapped for a mask and a bottle of hand sanitizer. I don't see the reason for banning these outright though, maybe just choose a section of the cabin where people wearing these can be grouped. It's convenient for everyone and doesn't pose any extra risks for the rest of the passengers.
- thinkharderdev 6y agoI think the concern with the pods is different from large body mass. The pod gets tossed (presumably) in an emergency situation so it can end up somewhere that is blocking someone else from safely evacuating. It would be less like an obese person than a normal weight person wearing a fat suit which they discard and throw in the aisle if they have to emergency deplane.
