Damn, I liked the Skyrider concept. Even for someone that sits at a desk all day, standing for a few hours wouldn't kill me, and I'd do it for the right amount of savings. Transit riders do the Skyrider thing on a moving vehicle regularly, but without the seatbelt, chair or backrest...
> The same would be true with standing seats since they are spaced so closely together from front to back, and passengers’ heads would be much closer to the fuselage of a plane when using a standing seat.
3/4/5 pointed seatbelts for takeoff/landing would be the way to go here no? Flight attendants seats often have these. Planes can't decelerate that much in the sky.
- CydeWeys 3y agoPlanes can experience shocking accelerations in the sky. People have died from head injuries sustained while being thrown around during extreme turbulence miles away from the nearest solid object.
- Scoundreller 3y agoI don’t doubt it. My point being that I think, on average the skyrider seat with extra belt point(s) would be safer than a standard seat and 2pt belt. And even without the extra belt point, being closer to the thing in front that you hit might be safer than accelerating for longer into a further away thing. At least that’s how it works in reverse with headrests.
