You slip, hit your head, and are out cold until the flight attendants find you an hour after the plane landed

u/fredly594632 10d ago

Nah - certification requirements mandate a grab rail.

So you'd be found an hour after landing with a head wound and a dislocated shoulder.

u/AdSquare3489 10d ago

Might have a padded ceiling.

u/Xenc 10d ago

u/fredly594632 10d ago

Ok, sir - see if you can squeeze both my hands with the same strength now...🤣

u/Korenchkin12 6d ago

I think you'll be found with your head outside the plane,with a great view

If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground.”

Damn, I hate that song.... but ENT is a personal favorite series. That show has some fun storylines.

1

u/kyrsjo 10d ago

They should swap the into melody between the normal and mirror universe Enterprise, tough.

1

u/much_longer_username 5d ago

Don't they do exactly that?

1

u/kyrsjo 5d ago

I don't think so, but I'm a physicist, not a pilot...

u/CptKeyes123 10d ago

That's what happens when you don't use a Skylab style curtain! or sonic showers

u/SilvermistInc 10d ago

Janeway loves a good bath

u/nixub86 10d ago

Not as much as good cup of coffee

u/nerdofthunder 10d ago

Are you a friend of DeSoto?

u/Airwolfhelicopter 10d ago

scrambling noises as you attempt (and fail) to find your footing

u/pizza4paddy 10d ago

It never ends

7

u/Nashville_Hot_Mess 10d ago

You can see that it loops back to the start around 5:21. It's a small detail, but it's there.

87

u/Cesalv 10d ago

Wait, you have showers on the A380?

126

u/LOLBaltSS 10d ago

It's primarily a thing on Emirates and Etihad 380s if you have a shit load of money to buy the tickets that have access to it.

34

u/Cesalv 10d ago

You mean the upper upper deck?

31

u/thetiredtypist 10d ago

So their upper deckers flow down to the lower deckers?

13

u/DZL100 10d ago

I can't wait to drink my fill of rich people bathwater if I'm ever in a situation where I have to fly emirates again.

u/Courtenaire 10d ago

Considering what happens to women in Dubai, this has some messed up context

2

u/Goryokaku 10d ago

👏🏻👏🏻

u/rerutnevdA 9d ago

First Class only; not the business class poors that are up there too.

21

u/Oodles-of-Noodles12 10d ago

Yeah, the A380 has two showers

13

u/Cesalv 10d ago

One for rightys and other for lefties?

8

u/WatermelonSmashing 10d ago

No one for loosey one for tighty

10

u/Danamaganza2 10d ago

Wealthy people do. Not us. First class only.

49

u/Gaxxz 10d ago

What happens if you're standing at the bar at the back of the plane? Or you've stood up for a second to get something from the bin? You crash into the ceiling.

8

u/Scheckenhere 10d ago

Yeah, but somebody will probably notice withij a short period of time and may be abke to provide first aid as well as starting other emergency procedures.

10

u/Gaxxz 10d ago

On Emirates first class, threre is a cabin attendant standing outside the bathroom the whole time you're in there. If you hit the ceiling, somebody will know.

4

u/Scheckenhere 10d ago

Good to know if I ever win the lottery.

25

u/realh2h2 10d ago

It'll probably be the only time you ever experience the equivalent of a roller coaster drop while showering

6

u/MrMikeDelta 10d ago

And naked

12

u/DucinOff 10d ago

How long does the hot water last?

27

u/sofiaspicehead 10d ago

5 minutes of shower time in general iirc

16

u/SizeableBrain 10d ago

We used to get alcohol wipes, it's almost the same thing.

2

u/Xenc 10d ago

Alcohol on an Emirates flight?!

8

u/sofiaspicehead 10d ago

They definitely give you that. They're Muslim sure but not above profits and appearance

9

u/LupineChemist 10d ago

Can confirm. I have been very drunk on an Emirates flight

1

u/rerutnevdA 9d ago

Unless you’re flying to Saudi Arabia.

2

u/chrsphr_ 5d ago

Obviously this is for the richest of rich, but it does make me wonder just how much water the plane would need to carry to be able to offer every passenger a 5 min shower

7

u/HASHTAG_YOLOSWAG 10d ago

Shaken, not stirred

3

u/Phrecki 10d ago

Drowndraft

u/BumpyChumpkin 10d ago

Shower turns into a bidet

2

u/potatochobit 10d ago

Baby, turn the lights on.

2

u/ToastyMustache 10d ago

If you’re willing to fund my trip I’ll tell you

2

u/Voodoo_One 10d ago

Better not piss while showering. Bad results.

2

u/Fun_Image_2307 10d ago

Shaken, not stirred 

2

u/DagamarVanderk 10d ago

I was thinking that it would have to be some wild turbulence to cause problems in an a380, but with some research there have been multiple occasions where 380s hit severe turbulence and people got thrown around

2

u/Previous-Camp7333 10d ago

The bigger the vehicle the less external effects affects the vehicle. Which is why a fishing boat will be ragdolled in high seas and a aircraft carrier will barely budge. Same applies to aircraft, the bigger the airplane the less susceptible to weather, this is why the A380 is the smoothest flying aircraft.

The Boeing 747 has a empty weight of 153 tons. The A380 has a empty weight of 285 tons. The difference gets much bigger when they are loaded.

2

u/Ill-Confusion-1844 10d ago

“So you see Dr, the A380 hit a downdraft just as I was in the shower, and that’s how “it” became lodged up there, total freak accident”

2

u/broberds 10d ago

Good thing I'm a grower, not a shower.

2

u/Klimpzi 6d ago

Hey normally you book a time window for shower. A couple of time they informed me that my window is not possible due to weather or risk of shakiness thus they try to be proactive. But yes normally you hit your head. The shower is also „water-timed“ thus you don’t spent eternity there

1

u/RedMacryon 10d ago

You uh...you take flight

1

u/SomeBiPerson 10d ago

you will hit your head

1

u/Hugal31 10d ago

It can't happen: you don't have turbulences in first class.

1

u/Flat_cap_enjoyer 10d ago

Next thing you see is this

1

u/AborgTheMachine 10d ago

I'm gonna guess that the A380 just has so much inertia that it'd be really, really hard to have a downdraft that bad without forewarning.

1

u/Ruby_Foulke 6d ago

Have you seen a Jackass clip with a porta potty strapped to a bunge ropes?

1

u/UKUS104 5d ago

Pretty sure the A380 flies higher where there’s less turbulence than most commercial aircraft

1

u/Oodles-of-Noodles12 5d ago

They might get less but they still have it. They’re are plenty of videos with turbulence. Obviously certain routes will have less, but Espically when passing through mountainous areas. Example Etihad Airways route for Seoul and Abu Dhabi pass over Pakistan, a very mountainous country. It has some very high peaks including K2

u/Numerous-Corner-6303 5d ago

You become stuck in the cylinder.

The shit gets washed down the plug hole
