What a great result for Airbus! Algy, thanks for the link to the blog.
And cwatters, what would be the option to people from the local gym, pulling them off the street? Yes, of course, the typical cross-section of pax on a flight will probably be more like people off the street but, surely, neither the certification authorities nor the manufacturers want to incur the injuries a test with that cross-section would involve. People from a gym are not, on the whole, athletes, rather, normal people who want to keep in or return to reasonable physical shape, at least at the gyms I've frequented. It makes sense to use them.
I wonder what sort of sweeteners Airbus will be offering the fellow who broke a leg!
