You think airline seating is too tight as it is now?

Just wait til you see this

New airline seats come only in upright and least comfortable position The SkyRider, which resembles a padded saddle, could make room for 40% more passengers per flight. It's met with skepticism at an industry expo in Long Beach. - Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/16/business/la-fi-0917-airline-seat-20100917)

I saw something about these the other night on the nightly news. As a non-under 6 foot and a non-under 200 lb person the seats looks uncomfortable as hell. Essentially its a freakin saddle and you're not sitting but also not standing 100%, you're just kind of suspended in midair like a roller coaster. they are saying they're only meant for 2 hr and under flights, but I know I'd be uncomfortable within 10-15 minutes in one of those contraptions haha.

At 6-3, I'm cramped with the seating as it is now. No way I would even consider flying on a plane with those seats. Totally absurd.

There had better be CONSIDERABLE discounts to flying like this.

Yeeeooow.............soon to be tested at Guantanamo Bay?

Are they planning on paying me to fly on planes with this configuration?

It hurts my junk just to look at that picture! Can you imagine if you hit turbulence or had a rough landing? Say good bye to the possibility of ever fathering children.

Now fat people will have to buy THREE SEATS.

This reminds me of Mr. Garrison inventing the "It".
"Well, it's better than dealing with the airlines, that's for sure"

(i'm sure someone could find a picture for it, as I seem to be technologically challenged to post it here for some reason)
