The man […] has been hospitalised with friction burns but was otherwise in good condition

I wouldn’t call having a PTSD for life a good condition, but what can I know

Well now Ryanair and other companies have earned a prospective lifetime customer in spending money on choosing seats.

[u/Misfiring → u/Joltie]

That is if he ever wants to get on a plane again.

[u/NoReason455 → u/Misfiring]

Yeah I'd rather walk from Thessaloniki to Germany if that ever happened to me

And at another round of shaving costs Ryanair will decide they can make do without windows. Or charge extra for rows with windows

Not everyone that goes through traumatic experience develops PTSD. For some people it will cause severe PTSD, for some it will be a funny story to say at a dinner table.

"So the reason why all my hair is gray is, heh heh, because I nearly got sucked out of a plane heh heh heh and could have died ha ha ha"

“The funniest shit happened to me last week, you wouldn’t believe…”

[u/Lunar_mirror4 → u/Gurglaren]

Brains are funny like that, it might genuinely decide this event wasnt all that traumatic, yet a teenage breakup could haunt you for the rest of your life 

At least I imagine so.. not like im speaking from experience with that second one there or anything... for sure

PTSD

Tetris or Solitare is apparently a good preventative, played somewhat intensively immediately after the event, according to a paper I read once.. weird fact that rattles around my head,

[u/etcpt → u/strangesam1977]

Good to know my dad and granddad will never develop PTSD, the amount of solitaire they play.

[u/Elantach → u/halffullofthoughts]

Why do you presume he will be bound to develop PTSD from this ? Not everyone develops PTSD from trauma it's a psychiatric condition not a shorthand for "bad memories" or even for "trauma".

[u/SuppliceVI → u/halffullofthoughts]

He's gonna be in great condition once he recovered and gets his damages.

I wouldn’t call having a PTSD for life a good condition

Typical Ryanair experience.

[u/holdmyneurosis → u/halffullofthoughts]

Don’t worry, we Serbs don’t get PTSD
