The New Delta Safety Video
As mentioned on Delta Airlines blog, “In-flight safety videos can be very boring. Trust us, we know!” but do safety videos necessarily have to entertain people? Last I heard, these videos are supposed to help save your life and the lives of others on the airplane. They offer precise instructions on how to survive in the unfortunate case that there should become a serious problem with the airplane you’re traveling on.
One thing is for sure, in flight safety videos are supposed to entertain people. And to be quite honest, if the video is in black and white with subtitles, if you don’t watch it and don’t fully understand it, then you’re doing a disservice to yourself and others on the airplane. But, I guess Delta understands that people rarely watch the in-flight safety videos so they decided to remap their existing one and make it more exciting, sexy and appealing.
The video looking as appealing as it is, I actually find it distracting from the real message at hand. Many of the emergency scenarios are totally sugar coated with superficial cheesiness which is something I just can’t stand. The examples shown are quite complicated in process and I don’t believe that many of the passengers could remember how or what they need to do in a real life emergency situation.
At any rate, here is the video below. You can watch for yourself and drop a comment in the form below with your thoughts. I would love to read what you have to say about the new Delta Safety Video.
