New air safety rules have been released and it’s a big win for us. After years of lobbying, we have finally convinced authorities that it should be mandatory for passengers to wear colourful swimwear whenever flying over a body of water. If the worst should happen, at least passengers will have long-lasting swimwear to help them swim to safety. Imagine how much better Tom Hanks in Cast Away would have felt (and looked) strutting around his island in bright trunks, and no doubt he would have been spotted and rescued a lot sooner.
