I love that description, @FranticK. That's a great synopsis for the story which BottleBlaze suggested someone should write.
Now I can't stop thinking about the guy sitting next to his girlfriend and trying to hold on until they land but ultimately not managing to. What a situation!
I love the sound of that situation too Brian!
Another fun idea: what if airlines kept track of people who had accidents? In addition to the “no fly list”, there could be a “no flying without protection list” for those who pose a risk to the cleanliness of the expensive airplane seats that thousands of people will need to sit in after them. I can imagine someone getting on a plane and thinking that a past accident is nothing more than a embarrassing memory that only a few people know about, only to be interrupted before take-off by a flight attendant who informs them that they cannot depart until measures have been taken that will prevent the seat from being damaged in the scenario of a bathroom emergency.
“Excuse me sir, but our records indicate that on a previous flight…”
“I understand that you’re saying it was a one-time thing, but our corporate policy indicates that…”
“I understand that you appealed being added to the ‘no flying without protection list’, but it looks like your request for an exception was rejected. I get that you’re saying it wasn’t your fault, but there were hundreds of people on that flight and according to the note on your file, you were the only one to have such an incident. I understand you were in a challenging situation, but we expect our customers to be able to hold it even if the toilet isn’t free at the exact moment they need it.”
