    What could go wrong standing for two hours… Nothing probably if you’re a healthy young individual

      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.

        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

        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.

          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

        Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You’ll stand 14 hours and you’ll love it, peasant.
