A study by the National Transportation Safety Board showed that in 58.4 percent of the 77 survivable/partially survivable passenger carrying transport aircraft accidents/incidents occurring since 1970, there were failures of cabin furnishings. These failures killed, injured, entrapped or otherwise incapacitated aircraft occupants preventing successful emergency escape in many cases. Failures of cabin furnishings also created obstacles to egress by blocking aisles and exits. Regulations dealing with occupant protection in crashes were last updated 30 years ago. They do not adequately reflect actual crash experience nor do they provide adequate protection to occupants in survivable crashes, especially the more severe crashes, where it is most needed. Recent accident experience supports the need to upgrade the current minimum design standards. Moreover, the technology exists for upgrading existing design and testing methods for cabin furnishings to meet the upgraded regulations.
