People are often advised to not lock their knees for a long time while standing (ex: marching band, or standing at attention in the military), and you cannot force anyone to have healthy posture. The ergonomics of these seats appear to take some of the load off the legs and feet, but it’s something to consider for patrons with more sedentary lifestyles. Many people believe themselves to be fit individuals until they are placed in uncomfortable conditions for a long time or experience unexpected stress. They could manage to injure themselves in some way, then find some reason to litigate.
I don’t know about how much fat it might take, but my 2 knee surgeries and both my deteriorating hip joints, (been searching eBay for a good used hip joint for cheap), tell me that standing for 2 hours is a painful idea.
I’m skinny and I’ll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I’ve passed out several times in other settings.
I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.
E: plenty of people arguing like people of good health will be the only passengers.
What could go wrong standing for two hours… Nothing probably if you’re a healthy young individual

honestly might even be more healthy
Only if you do it on a regular basis, not a one-shot like this (if you do not stand a lot usually).
Also, Turbulence!
apparently trombosis is a rather large problem even when flying only occasionally for vacations. That’s what I meant.
But yeah, turbulences could give you a headache lol
How fat you would have to be to pass out from standing for 2 hours?
Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You’ll stand 14 hours and you’ll love it, peasant.

They will lock in place and you will be gucci for 10 hours
Afterwards you just ask this 6’3 bear like guy to give you a slight kick and off the ramp you slide out like a newborn out of uterus
So would I need up upgrade to First Class to get that kind of service?
I was kicked out of the plane in any class. I don’t think this is class dependent.
It speeds things up if you put a Burger King hat on and enact a scene out of 19th century cotton farm plantations.
People will literally jump to fix your joints for free. Thats how much they love classic American themes

So you got a skip journey button and you say this is a bad thing?
