Why haven't airlines added safety pads to their carts? I chanced upon this question at 5:11 of this YouTube video. Their answer is &quot;no idea&quot;.
A cynic would answer profit motive, for it costs money to add safety pads to all these carts and airlines aren't profiting especially in this COVID19 pandemic.
Because an inch or two of rubber isn’t going to stop a 300lb cart from breaking your foot if it goes out of control down an aisle. If your elbow is in the wrong position, you could hit it with a 300lb roll of memory foam and cause a compound fracture.
The maker of this video is just looking for things to complain about. Keep your body parts out of the aisle and you’ll be fine.
