| #5 Don't have to have a crash, just slamming on the brakes would be enough. I've been in a taxi situation when someone blew a red light, needless to say I was impressed by the stopping ability of such a large piece of equipment, and remind fellow travelers to mind the good cabin crew when they say keep the seatbelt fastened until parked. |

| #4 NOTE: the military doesn't have to worry about the tort claims that might occur. Private company's do. |

| #3 Most military troops are in good shape. This is not a good option for children, elderly, disabled, obese or just plain "out of shape". In addition the injuries in a hard landing look to be increased due to side loads and a lap belt. A tort lawyers dream. |

| #2 The lawyers will have a field day when it is discovered after the first crash that there are 150 broken necks. |
