Oh the joys of being 5’8”! I often feel the same on planes. When I was a teen (OK, when dinosaurs roamed the earth!) this was the average height for a male in the UK and many design models were based on this 70s statistic. It’s a similar situation with the recently highlighted crash test dummies issue -they’re based on historical male models which results in higher injuries in similar circumstances for females (can I use ‘male’ and ‘female’ in today’s woke society?). I bet, at 6’4”, you hate air travel -I often feel cramped!
