Evil Airplane designers :)

Yeah, but if airline companies actually use this, people can't die because they can't get out fast enough after a crash (assuming they survived), there could be lawsuits.
It is already a peeve point for me that the crew gets shoulder belts, but not the passengers.
And it's already hard enough to get out of the seats as is. We don't need to make it even harder.

Aviation has always drawn the oddballs.
The Short Mayo two stage Flying Boats--various seat packing schemes for blended wing body designs with no windows, etc.
For an example of Air Force hubris: http://up-ship.com/blog/?p=28352
In Vietnam, pilots named their planes Spads, Thuds--and perhaps the best of all, a Jet Cessna trainer pressed into service as a ground attack aircraft lovingly referred to as the Super Tweet.

Oh, I get it.
Imagine a boat's oar with the letter g on it, then you get the idea.

The comments alone are gold. One person suggested escape capsules in first class so if a plane is delayed and is flying over a 1st class passengers home they can be ejected and parachute down.
And there's this
This one's good. futuristic capsules to fly in. Oooh purple too.

There aren't even armrests? So the armrests are literally other people's thighs?
Those designers are "a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes"
Captain Scarlet used to always drive sitting backwards and he was just fine...of course he was also a puppet...
You people are so negative. I see this as a marketing opportunity! Playboy Airlines offers you the chance to fly and cop a feel at the same time... all on a budget!
Well it could be a marketing plan
Exec 1: The designers have come up with this new concept for seating on planes.
Exec 2: That's too radical people will never accept it
Exec 3: They will if we publish this even more outlandish design, After this they'll thing anything is better.

It might look cool, but I see people in first class drowning as the plane sinks, because they couldn't get out and down from their seats fast enough.
And I would be so pissed if only the first class gets ejection seats, and only they would get to live if something goes wrong! I want an ejection seat too!
Maybe more effort should be spent on trying to replace fossil fuels as the fuel source? Then the aircraft can be made wider, there wouldn't be such a need to reduce weight as much as possible, and there'd be more space as a result for seats!
For me, an ideal seat is well bolstered, has ample padding, but is also relatively easy to get out of, if need be.
fit those sorts of seats to any aircraft and watch it's airworthiness certificate fly out the window.
As part of the certification process, airliner manufactures have show that the aircraft can be evacuated in a certain period of time.
Seats like what's being discussed here would make increase the evac time.
Must be pushing things as it is with the new high density seating some airlines are starting to employ.
