A former flight attendant has shared a safety tip on TikTok, advising travelers to avoid wearing shorts on flights due to the potential for burns while using emergency slides. He explained that the slides are designed to quickly descend and generate heat, which can cause severe burns if exposed skin comes into contact with them.
As the UK remains gripped by dreary weather, many are eagerly planning their sunny getaways for the upcoming months.
However, in a TikTok video, an ex-flight attendant has shared that there can also be a safety reason for not wearing skimpy clothing, recommending travellers to wear long trousers and cover their legs on flights. He also described his flight training experience with Emirates, highlighting the importance of protecting your skin while using the emergency slides.
He stressed the significance of wearing long trousers when flying, stating: "Obviously, no one wants to get into an emergency, but this could save you a lot of pain."
