Sir Bobby relives 1958 crash horror
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20...6323e80_1.html
Sir Bobby said the design of the plane saved his life. "I have realised why it was - it was because the design of the aircraft at that particular time was that half the seats were facing forward and half of them backwards. All the ones that had their back to the front of the aeroplane were the ones that survived," he said. |

Other than a 70 year old's recollection of an event that happened 50 years ago, do you have any other evidence on the direction the surviviors versus the fatalites were sitting? It's not I don't agree that sitting backwards is safer with a frontal impact, but whether the statement that all of the backwards facing passengers survived or anything other than the statements of this one person. There really is a bit too little factual information in this article. What does this have to do with uk.politics.misc? |

There really is a bit too little factual information in this article. T'is fact! Think about it. Collision injuries sustained during a transport collision accident often takes the form of inertial injuries. An unrestrained body will be thrown forward violently coming into contact with fixed objects. Seat belts help but do not restrain the whole body. We have all heard of whiplash injuries. A severe whiplash breaks the neck and is almost invariably fatal. Even the intestines and stomach are wrenched forward towards the soft underside of the body. If on the other hand the subject sits facing away from the direction of travel then the same inertial force pushes the whole of the body back into the seat where the head in particular is supported. The internal organs are pushed towards the pelvic region where support is better. What does this have to do with uk.politics.misc? Could it not come under the "misc" bit? We do after all have to endure loads of crap regarding zionism, holocaust denial, 9/11 conspiracy theories and the likes without anybody asking the same question., |

Collision injuries sustained during a transport collision accident often takes the form of inertial injuries. I know that it is safer to travel with the seat facing the rear. My comments were related to the comments that seem to indicate only the people facing the rear survived and none of the forward facing ones did. |

Are you stupid? I was questioning the facts of the incident, not whether it was safe to face backwards. |
