That’s Why Airplane Seats Face the Wrong Way

Can you imagine boarding a plane only to find all the seats facing away from you? You might think there must be some kind of mistake. But turning the seats around would actually be the best way to get passengers from A to B! Why? Well, at least because backward-facing airline seats are safer than forward-facing ones. They provide extra support for the head and torso. Our backs are scientifically proven to withstand more shock than our chests and front. So why don’t airlines have the option of rear-facing seats?

Because it’s much safer! - Airlines that have included backward-facing seats in their business class have been able to fit 80 more seats in the cabin. - With rear-facing seats, you get to enjoy the view the entire time you fly! - Airplanes are naturally angled up a degree or two when in flight. Seats that face backward can recline into fully flat beds. - Rear-facing seats are heavier than forward-facing ones, this adds weight to the plane. - Some frequent flyers that have tried the backward-facing seats say that it’s a little awkward when you ride facing other passengers. - Completely replacing old seats and installing new rear-facing ones would cost a fortune. - If you’re someone who struggles with vertigo or nausea, I’m raising my hand here, these “innovative and revolutionary” seats may not be for you either. - Studies done on various forms of transportation show that most people choose forward-facing seats. - Completely redoing seating arrangements on board would be risky, and may not guarantee revenue.

24 Proofs Your Body Is Really Special

During the Renaissance, European scientists and artists strongly believed the human body was the most wondrous and sacred thing in the whole world. And to this day, we only find more and more evidence that they were completely right. Do you know, for example, why pinkie toe lost all of its functionality? Or how sneezing makes you happy? Or that your eyes are placed in such a way they should actually see your nose? You simply don’t notice it! Well, interested? Then why not check out these cool facts about your body? Other videos you might like: WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOUR BODY? || 360 VR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw9EJbezlK4&; A Journey Inside Your Body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pjkQcQBTtc 15 Body Parts That Will Disappear One Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1sgVb3YBAI&; TIMESTAMPS: The strongest muscle 0:19 Your brain is the best video editor 0:41 Your body is the whole world 1:00 You’re unique in more than one way 1:24 Half of you is your brain 2:05 Humans shed skin too 2:37 Sugar bones 3:29 Sweat has no smell 3:56 Pinkie toe is on its way to becoming history 4:22 People are still partly predators 5:25 Sneezing makes you happy 5:57 Smart fingers 6:58 Yawning is contagious for a reason 7:22 You can’t tickle yourself 7:46 Where is your nose? 8:14 Your nose warms up the air 8:44 You live in the past all the time 9:04 #humanbody #amazingfacts #brightside SUMMARY: - Your eyes are constantly taking separate pictures and moving all the time to make a full image of your surroundings. - From 2 to 5 pounds of all your body weight doesn’t even belong to you but to microscopic life that lives inside us all. In the human mouth alone more bacteria live than people on Earth. - Brain structure highly depends on conditions in which it develops and grows, and therefore we all have something individual to us even on a biological level. - The brain takes only 2% of your whole-body weight, but it’s such a powerhouse that it requires 20% of the energy you consume. - Bones in baby fists are not fully formed until they turn 10. That’s because in infancy it’s very important for fists to be elastic, so a lot of bone tissue is replaced by cartilage in this period. - It’s not the sweat that launches you to the bathroom after a good workout. It’s microscopic bacteria on your skin that interact with it. - Pinkie toe lost all of its functionality a while ago – precisely when humankind started wearing shoes - Hairs and nails grow faster if they get more nutrition with blood. Another fact – our bodies aren’t symmetric at all. - When you scream or sneeze, your brain tries to protect you from the loud noise. It automatically turns down the volume in your head! - Another way to make yourself happy without eating too much is to sneeze. Another happy-hormone endorphin is released with each ‘A-choo!’ you make. - Human kidneys have 2 million little filters total, and are capable of filtering all the blood in the human body several times per day. - Yawning is a social reflex that appeared as a way for social animals to signal that it’s time to take a rest. Yawning also helps to ventilate the lungs and make your body relax overall. - Your tongue has the same kind of sensitive cells that provide you information about the smell of food you eat. - It takes 13 milliseconds for your eyes to perceive an image and around 50 milliseconds for your ears to hear something. So you can’t always be up to date – it’s just impossible!
