Fast Jet Pilot Kit
Re: Fast Jet Pilot Kit
Well done anyway in putting up with the banter!
Pity you can't get a life preserver. Getting the littlest lady to put it on and then pull the inflation handle was always fun as 2 enormous dayglo boobs suddenly appeared from amongst all the green!

Re: Fast Jet Pilot Kit
Well a big thank-you to everyone who has replied - much appreciated chaps.

Re: Fast Jet Pilot Kit
Why do I need to wear personal protective clothing and equipment?
Let's give it some thought. The human body is amazing. We have a head and brains for thinking; ears for hearing; eyes for seeing; a nose for detecting odors; a mouth for talking and eating; lungs for breathing; arms, elbows, knees and legs for lifting and bending; hands and fingers for dressing and feeding ourselves and for writing; legs for walking and running; and feet and toes for support and balance. However, we can be easily cut, burned or blinded. We can break bones, cut flesh, become deaf or blind, get scraped and suffocate.
These possibilities bring to mind the need for working safely and wearing personal protective equipment and clothing.
We are all familiar with the game of football. We have either played it one time in our lives or sat in front of the "boob tube" during fall and winter weekends to watch it. Not many football spectators think of safety while watching a game, but safety in football is real. It starts before the game in the locker room when the team is suiting up. Players have to wear protective equipment, which includes shock-absorbing helmets with face guards; mouth pieces; shoulder pads; rib, elbow, knee and hip pads; and cleated shoes.
At times this equipment becomes uncomfortable, but the players know that the game is quite rough and injuries can occur. If they want to play in the next week's game, they wear this personal protective equipment. After all, players are not much good when they're sidelined with injuries.
Real pros realize this fact and figure out the odds. When they wear personal protective equipment, their chances of getting through the game without a disabling injury are much greater. Therefore, their chances of continuing as successful football players without suffering injuries are greater. Discomfort and inconvenience do not mean a thing to them.
Like football players, employees may work on a job that requires personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves and hand pads, hearing protection, hard hats and respirators. Personal protective equipment cannot prevent an accident from occurring, but safety equipment can prevent serious injuries.
We realise that safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves, ear plugs, hard hats and respirators are kind of a nuisance to put on and wear and may seem rather bulky and uncomfortable.
Most of the time, if personal protective equipment is properly fitted, it's just a matter of getting used to wearing it. This is a lot easier to adhere to when we remember that, like football players, we stand a better chance of continuing successfully with our jobs and home lives if we are protected from possible serious injuries by personal protective equipment.

Re: Fast Jet Pilot Kit
Having had to give various presentations myself, I'd start with the advice given earlier, start with what you know.
You said 'I am the only one to have had a fast jet flight'
So, assuming you had to suit up, tell a story about that. Maybe in this sort of order....
a/ I went on a fast jet trip in a ****
b/ before I went up I had to attend a briefing
c/ we have to wear safety equipment, then start with a sequential list
d/ The first item you put on is clean pants, coz (1) your mum always told you to, (2)you'll be sitting on a 'Bang' seat. If you hear a 'Bang' you'll be glad you put cleans ones on.
e/. next item, brief description of what it is, why it does it, why it goes on in the sequence it does, before the next bit.
When volunteer fully suited you're ready to fly, end of demo any q's?
Perhaps an FJ driver or squipper can tell you the seqeunce of suiting up, and go from there.
Beags' audience would look something like this

Pop in and see the Survival Equipment Fitters (Squippers), they do this kind of thing all the time.
