After six ousthe mien negan to recover, Sbould plane Seats Face Backwards ? A f airly substantial intramural f,,iglbt developing in the aircraft industry is the value of back- ward-facing seats in planes. There is some evidence f0 sup- ,port the, theory that placing the seats opposite to the direcion of f liglit could save lives. In the Boston plane cxash that ki-lled 62 people, about 20 of the vie- tlms died f rom hiead injuries caursed by impact with the food trays which are stared in zip- pered okets in front of the passengers. At thre point of im- pact, these vietims bit the Plastic trays liard witli their foreheads. MUany of tliem had legs broken by crashing 'against, the seat in front. The evidence accumutlated afteýr the crash suggests thàt the majority of these inijuries miglit not hrave occurred if th-, passen- gers had been facing the rear. The assumrption is that the weiglit of the~ body would have been o.uLchi more easily absor'bed by t:he back of the seat. The argument over whrether this is or isn't ani urgent 101. tb.at needs to be done nrow ce-- tres around the airlines.
