I feel so bad for tall people on planes. It's uncomfortable AF for all of us, but you guys have to become human origami just to sit. It's insane that this shit is legal. I avoid flying as much as possible.

Also, ths taller you are, the more likely you are to be seriously injured in severe turbulence, malfunctions, minor crashes and major crashes.

I'm tall and fat it's a double whammy. Granted one I've done to myself, luckily I generally only fly with my wife so I can get the isle seat to stretch
