ABOUT: PREPARE FOR IMPACT
This 3D game has been developed in the context of an international, aviation safety research project (hcilab.uniud.it/aviation), aimed at exploring possible new approaches to safety education, and featured on important media such as TIME, Popular Mechanics, Discovery Channel, and Fox News.
Prepare for Impact is the world-first game that reproduces the experience of real aircraft emergencies from the passenger’s viewpoint, with the highest fidelity allowed by today’s mobile devices. In each virtual emergency experience, the player can try first-hand right and wrong actions that a passenger can take, and see the positive or negative consequences those actions have.
Your goal is to take all the right decisions to come out from the plane unharmed as fast as possible.
The different levels of "Prepare for Impact" depict major types of emergencies, such as in-flight decompression, ground collision, runway overrun, water landing, crash landing, rejected take-off, and fumes in the cabin. Moreover, they are able to simulate the different threats that can make aircraft evacuation more complex, such as fire, smoke in the cabin, water, unusable exits, and others. The latest version of the app also includes a level editor that allows players to create personalized evacuation scenarios.
The game also offers the option of publishing your best evacuation results on world leaderboards.

RCE telling the airline stewards that they aren't evacuating people from a sinking plane as efficiently as they can is peak engineering.

The fact that people don't know the brave position is intended so you die instantly in a crash ect instead of suffering 😂

[@AZREDFERN]

The masks won't save you from smoke in the cabin anyways. They're designed for decompression at altitude. They mix ambient air with just enough oxygen to keep you from dying for 5 or more minutes until the emergency decent is complete. You may still pass out, which is why they say to get yours on before helping others. Passengers also get chemically generated breathing oxygen, for ease of maintenance. Pilots get a full sealed face covering and a more sustainable gaseous oxygen. It's kinda important that they stay conscious with smoke free eyes. Fun fact! If you have a REAL barometer (not a GPS barameter), like on the Apple Watch Ultra, you can see just how fresh the cabin seals are. I flew on a brand new AirBus, and the barometer was reading 300ft below sea level most of the time. Then I flew on an older 737, and it read 6000ft above sea level most of the time.

[@mandowarrior123]

That isn't the seals, the pressure can be adjusted.

[@iluomopeloso]

​@@mandowarrior123 Fun fact! When we do stress analysis, we have to account for the differences the cabin is pressurized to based on long/medium/short flights.

[@Kasi11]

@@mandowarrior123 its controlled automatically, you can adjust it manually on some planes, but you would only do that if the computer fails. The air con is pushing always around the same amount of fresh air into the plane, the pressure is adjusted by setting an outlet valve to control how much air can flow out.

[@Kasi11]

@@iluomopeloso The pressure is bases on the altitude, the higher the plane flies, the higher the cabin pressure gets.

[@Kasi11]

The oxygen lasts for 15 minutes in most cases, 5 minutes would be quite short to perform an emergency descent and 6000ft is the desired cabin alt for 32000ft airplane altitude on the 737

But there was a hugely convoluted reason deeply rooted in the Concorde fundamental design, ye, there's no way planes catch on fire because of a tire puncture.

[@thatjeff7550]

@@BlackHe4rtQueen the Concorde caught fire because the tire ran over a metal piece that fell off another plane, burst the tire, then threw the piece of metal up into the wing.

[@Streaky100001]

@@BlackHe4rtQueen I'd like to point out a "Tire puncture" is not a burst tire. If the tire bursts, i.e. bang, and the rubber is gone (which does sometimes happen to aircraft tires) then yes, fire is a possible outcome, particularly at or close to takeoff speed as depicted in the incident in the game. The reason being, at those speeds, the friticion between the metal rim of the wheel and the surface of the runway throws large amounts of sparks in all directions, which can cause fire, and generates massive amounts of heat at the contact point, which again can cause fire. If you watch footage of aircraft coming in to land with a burst tire they'll typically have the fire trucks spray the runway with foam before the aircraft touches down to help reduce the risk of fire. So yes, a burst tire absolutely can cause a fire.

The brace position isn't to keep you unharmed, it's to keep you alive. You would rather be bleeding than have your bones broken, especially when it's your head.

[@R0TEK]

Yeah I found this video extremely informational and funny. Having wounds on your face is still better than straight up dying. I guess the adrenaline at the moment would make you feel less pain anyway?

[@johannesgutsmiedl366]

the idea isn't hard to understand: you're wearing a two point seatbelt so either way your face is going to slam into the seatrest in front of you when the plane hits the ground. Would you prefer if the hit happens immediately when your face and the seatrest are at roughly the same velocity or after your face has had half a second or so to accelerate? that explains why the brace position is what it is.

[@milktobo7418]

If you cant move the load off your spine in a ground impact the brace position is useless and just to keep you under control until you are paralyzed. This game is airline propaganda.

[@ReneSchickbauer]

Gotta admit I'm torn on whether or not Matt is being a troll and refusing to do the obvious correct thing when prompted, or would actually cause the deaths of countless people in an emergency.

[@theodoric4270]

Take-off *is* safe. The expectation is that absolutely nothing would happen to you if you weren't wearing a seatbelt during take-off. But that's almost always true. Same thing with hard-hats, fire extinguishers, smoke/CO2 detectors, and locks on front doors. Seatbelts are not meant to make normal operation safer. They're meant to make terrible accidents less fatal. Since it takes longer to fasten a seatbelt than it does to die in an accident, you need to already have it fastened. That's why it's important to always wear a seatbelt. Sorry for inserting my own little PSA. I do appreciate the irony in how RCE did all the wrong things, and I really enjoyed the video and the humor of the blunders. I just wanted to take the opportunity to plug seatbelts because I myself would not be here to enjoy the video if I wasn't in the habit of wearing a seatbelt all the time. Roughly 22 years of wearing a seatbelt to no effect all so the one time it could give me another 7-ish years so far. Easily worth the trouble.

[@liamnehren1054]

yeah.. the shore being that close with a lifejacket on, swimming would make sense as long as: -It isn't an active boating lane -The current isn't going the wrong way -The shore isn't dangerous in some way -There is no damage to your lifevest ...my point is there are good reasons NOT to swim, hell even in sailing, EVER having to swim is a sign of failure.

[@Streaky100001]

I'd disagree with you here, swimming still wouldn't make sense. You've got a perfectly good lifeboat there, you might as well use it. If you swim you expose yourself to a number of dangers. You mention current, it's hard to know what the current will be, not easy to judge just looking at the water, especially if you're just an average airline passenger. Maybe if you're particularly experienced around the water you'd have a better chance of knowing what it's doing, but not the average person. You also mention damage to the life vest, reasonable, having just climbed out of a damaged aircraft, it could've been snagged on something etc. I'd say though there's a big, obvious one you're missing. So you jump in the water and swim to the shore, well, who knows how long you're going to be waiting for rescue, but you're now going to be waiting wet and potentially cold. You're clothes are soaked too, so they wont be much help avoiding the cold. Hypothermia is now going to be a real risk to you, potentially really quickly. Maybe you're lucky and it's a nice warm day, and you dodge the hypothermia, but what about all the jet fuel, and oils and stuff that's leaking out of the aircraft you just took a dip in, that stuffs really not going to be good for your health. It'll be survivable, but it's going to suck and could cause some longer term health issues. Who knows what else is in the water, depending on where you are there could be all manner of wildlife living in there, both on the large scale, stuff like crocs and aligators, and also the small scale, stuff like little parasitic bugs and such. Another danger people don't think about too much is your fellow passengers. At this point, if you're jumping in to swim, there's probably others in the water, some of them are probably going to be panicking, possibly many of them, and you're probably going to have to swim past them. weather you try to help them or not is immaterial, point being if they're panicking there's a very real risk they're going to try to make a grab for you and in their panic drag you under. Ooooh, and one more fun one that gets forgotten. Cold water shock. So hitting cold water causes a bunch of fun effects on the body, firstly you're likely to take a sharp, involuntary gasp in, which, since it's involuntary, risks you also inhaling water (a bad day). After that there's a good chance you may start hyperventilating and generally loose control of your ability to control your breathing. Around this time your brain is either shutting down or going into a full panic mode, either way, you loose the ability to think clearly and act upon your plans. You may be able to get this all under control, and if you can, you have a window to save yourself, but you're going to loose muscles strength and tire very quickly, and will reach a point where you become physically incapable of swimming (swim failure) then you're in big trouble. The life vest certainly will help lessen the effects of all this, as it's going to help keep your head above water while you're not mentally capable of doing it yourself (due to panicking etc) and later while physically incapable of doing it yourself (swim failure) but you're very much reliant now on someone else coming and fishing you out, who knows how long that's going to be and weather you'll survive long enough. I will say here, I am again assuming the average passenger here. Sure, some people will be better at dealing with cold water shock than others. Anyone is susceptible to it, but there are techniques you can learn/develop to help you deal with it, help you recover from the initial shock more quickly, and help extend the time before swim failure. And of course, general level of fitness and swimming proficiency will have a big effect on how well you do too. So, really, my point here I guess is that there's a heck of a lot of risks involved in entering the water. Swimming is definitely a better bet than just floating in the water next to the plane. But the goal should definitely should be to stay the hell out of the water if there is any alternative...... like...... ya know, a convenient life raft.

@@liamnehren1054 I thought you were saying it wasn't a bad idea to swim because of your opening statement "Swimming would make sense as long as: ......" And the criteria you give, while all good points, don't consider a lot of the potential dangers. (By the way, I'm far from a water survival expert myself, I'm sure there's probably other dangers I didn't think of) I realize you made the point at the end you point out that there are reasons not to swim, and that having to swim is failure, but... you don't elaborate on those reasons. I felt it was important to convey just how serious the dangers really are. I think people get used to swimming in safe, familiar waters, and often forget just how seriously dangerous water can be if you get it wrong.
