In response to yesterday’s post about the end of the 3-point turn, my good friend, Lucy, shared something really interesting.
Lucy’s dad is a pilot, and apparently it would be safer for passengers to sit facing backwards on planes, because in the event of a crash the probability of injury would be lower than if sitting facing forwards.
Yet, can you find me one airline that has backwards facing seats?
I find it fascinating that us humans are willing to give up a safer ride in exchange for a more psychologically comfortable one.
H/T Lucy for sharing!
