What is the reasoning behind this?
So what kinds of accident are these designed to protect the pax from? Under what conditions do airbags deploy - heavy landing, heavy braking, collision (mid air or ground)?
Is there an issue with pax either not understanidng the brace position or not being sufficiently prepared, or even, not bothering?
I can understand if they're in positions where the brace position might be difficult - given the seat pitch on some airlines then it might be warranted...
