25、es lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situationsin an airplane crash, for example. The New York Times Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats

26、 are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（强度） first set moe than 60 years ago require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg).

27、woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports: “If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built in

28、to the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.” “Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from the uncontrolled mov

29、ements of the passenger.” Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got

30、 in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人体模型）. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said. Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a seni
