It's really a pretty simple concept, but I've never had it explained on an airline. I don't understand how someone could draw a conclusion that parents are too 'stupid' to understand. Maybe if it's beyond someone's ability to understand, they would project that 'stupidity' on anyone else who doesn't understand, whether or not it's ever been explained. |

Actually the flight attendant says it in every pre-flight emergency briefing. You are right that it is a simple concept, and I don't know anyone who is too stupid to understand it. Based on his posts, I think Mxsmanic has a desperate need to try to make himself feel superior. He just doesn't realize just how transparent it is. As you implied, his comments say a lot more about him than anything else. |

BB An explosive decompression can do a lot of damage to the BB body. Sinuses, ears lungs.. "Explosive decompression (ED) refers to a sudden marked drop in the pressure of a system that occurs in less than 0.1 seconds, associated with explosive violence. Generally it results from some sort of material fatigue or engineering failure, causing a contained system to suddenly vent into the external atmosphere." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_decompression Not a chance the Airbus experienced *explosive* decompression. -- The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it. ~ Woodrow Wilson |

Just that there may be people on board who don't fly frequently enough to remember it if there were to be an actual emergency. Now SEATBELTS they explain because they think people are stupid... |

Amazing. I never would have guessed that you could get a spinal injury from the decompression itself. Bubbles in the CNS after sudden decompression can cause serious neurological symptoms and persistent sequelae, but it's a very rare complication. |
