I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but that sentence is grammatically incorrect. What you want to say is "How often does a plane crash?" Because planes (plural) crash all the time (well not all the time but certainly there has been more than 1 plane crash in history).
@DEUS EX I realize you were just joking, and it's all good. But now I have a question: even if the problem occurred at 500 mph, can't any plane just stay in the air with no engine thrust, gradually losing speed and altitude until they're down as low as the speed of the Sully event?
Honestly just the thought of how much space there would be between my feet and the ocean floor would be enough for me to die of a panic attack if I ever got out of a sinking plane with just a lifejacket...
@@daslynnter9841 Average ocean depth is 12,000ft. Average airplane cruising altitude is 30,000ft. So not _literally_ the same, unless by "literally" you mean, "I'm one of those Millennials who can't understand my own first language".
@DillyDyson007 lmao yall are the funniest. Can boomers stop being overly dramatic for 2 seconds? language adapts and changes, quit crying about it jeez
I don't get priority boarding. You just sit there for an extra 30 minutes watching people block eachother in the hallway and clumsily stuffing their luggage in the overhead bins while you could've been out at the gate stretching your legs - you're about to sit there for hours, anyway. Unless you're flying with Ryanair and don't have assigned seats (but fuck that).
This. I was put to business class and holy fucking shit. I only wanted to sit down and not talk to anybody and these cabin crew kept offering me food, wet towel and shit and I was like just leave me the fuck alone, I'm on my headphones here and I grew up poor, an introvert and unfamiliar with a simple luxury like this.
The brace position reduces flailing by having a forward-facing occupant lean over their legs and it reduces secondary-impact injuries by pre-positioning the body against a surface that can be struck. This reduces the momentum of the head and other parts of the body. Also, they usually won't tell you to brace if you strike a mountain at 500mph.
Did I miss the meeting where it was decided comedians weren't allowed to develop material on the same subject? Anyway, another thing the Big Yin said about flying was the safety advice about putting on a lifejacket when about to crash into a mountain. "This will do you no good at all, but when archeologists find your remains in two hundreds years time, they'll think there was a river here."
honestly id say i get offended REALLT easily but i dont get why people get offended by this man. hes always funny and seems supportive of those underpriviledged, he just cracks jokes at everyone
Brilliant peace. Now I know why he used a very simple, monotone and impunity whistle and not the standard looong one you would think of off the bat. He sculpted it in a way to use later with the heli sound. The simplicity and monotone*ality to make it resonate better later so you would remember it.
"Actually, the brace position is to protect your head and teeth so that you can be identified"...that's literally as ridiculous as the joke this comment thread is based upon. A planes going down at 300 - 500 miles an hour into a mountain and your forearms provide enough of a shelter to your head and teeth that rescuers can identify you. The passengers teeth ( and heads ) amongst those who failed to adopt the brace position are just mush, unidentifiable.
That's why those vests also have lights on them (which are designed to light up, as soon as they get wet). And the whistle isn't for catching the attention of people in helicopters or search and rescue planes; they're for getting the attention of people on passing boats (or life-rafts).
The start about the brace: Its desighned to stop you smacking or go flying into the bulkhead or seat infront. The whistle on life jacket: Usually there are some survivers on water, its so ur crew can hear if anyone needs immediate help, like z code blue in a hospitalm
The brace position in an airplane is designed to help passengers protect themselves during a crash. It involves sitting with your head down, hands on the back of your head, and your feet flat on the floor. Here's why it's important: 1. Head Protection: Bending your head down helps reduce the risk of head injury or whiplash during impact. 2. Seat Belt Effectiveness: It ensures that your seat belt is snugly fastened, which is crucial for restraining your body during a crash. 3. Lower Limb Protection: Keeping your feet flat on the floor can prevent leg and ankle injuries by providing better support. 4. Reduced Flailing: Holding your hands on the back of your head helps prevent your arms from flailing forward, which could lead to injury. 5. Preparedness: Being in the brace position prepares you for impact, making it easier to quickly evacuate the aircraft if necessary. It's important to follow crew instructions during a flight, including adopting the brace position when instructed, as it can significantly increase your chances of surviving a crash.
Mentioning 'BA' in this joke means he doenst actually have to pay for tickets, ever. At least, that would be my guess. And that's what makes it true, bc FREE business class on BA really cant be beat :)
I've talked about place crashes n stuff like this to my friends many times, so I'm sure it wasn't copied. Just great minds thinking alike I guess. (Not calling myself the great mind just them lol)
"I'm using this voice, so don't worry bout it, right" I cracked on that joke, man is hilarious. 🤣 I'm not surprised if in daily life he often laughs at someone just doing their thing which he thinks kinda silly 🤣
Jimmy Carr did basically the exact same joke in one of his stand ups and so did Alan Davis on QI. Idk if this is plagiarised but it’s certainly influenced
There isn’t even room in cattle class to lean forward and adopt the brace position but Ricky wouldn’t know this with all his lovely brace adopting space in first class
I remember a crash test of a plane into a solid wall of concrete. If a plane crashes into a solid mass be it a mountain or an iceberg, not much will be left of the plane, if anything at all. Same thing when the plane crashed into the pentagon. The wall will be fine.Airplanes are made of very light materials and a container of a very flammable liquid.
Carlin made the joke about water landing before. He said "I'm sorry, but that sounds a bit like CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN". Then Carlin proceeded to speak about the life jacket. Not the same joke but one may suspect Ricky saw that and made his own version of it.
Shangrila La de da - A landing. It's joked that carrier landings are controlled crashes because of the violence of landing at take off power and arrestor cables
The brace position is more to keep everyone in check, in place and to prevent panic and chaos. So the crew can try and figure out how to get out of the mess to the best of their abilities. It might not work, but it's definitely easier with a full plane with people in brace position than in a plane with everyone panicking, bitching, etc.
The crash position and whistle bit sure sound a lot like Jimmy Carr's bit from "Funny Business" in 2016. But people have said these subjects have been in comedy performances for years, so, it's still funny.
“How often do planes crash?” “Just once”

The whistle is to play whilst you freeze your ass dead
The brace position is more to keep everyone in check, in place and to prevent panic and chaos. So the crew can try and figure out how to get out of the mess to the best of their abilities. It might not work, but it's definitely easier with a full plane with people in brace position than in a plane with everyone panicking, bitching, etc.
