I was wondering whether there are some physical requirements on the person who can be allowed to sit in exit seats? I mean the doors look quite heavy...
I've recently got one and in fact I asked the cabin crew to let me seat elsewhere and get someone strong to sit there instead but they told me I'd do just fine. I'm rather skinny and I can barely carry much in my every day life - I take airplane safety really seriously and wouldn't mind having less leg room.
So did they just happen to overestimate me or are the exit doors that easy to open?
Thanks!
