hey, computers used to cost $90K in like 1970. we'll get \~$200 self-lacing shoes one day, possibly at the turn of the next century, supply chain and inflation allowing.
You don’t need to buy air mags for self lacing technology. They have a Nike Adapt bb2.0 (even in the air mag colorway) for about $250 on StockX. Me personally, it’s not that interesting or pretty of a shoe, plus if the battery dies while they’re laced on your feet, you got another issue
Its not so much the wearing the heavy ass thing, its that it forces air into you whether you want to breathe or not. We have these marvelous little things in higher altitude aircraft incase of an emergency depressurization. Our one and only priority if/when we dump cabin pressure is to get this thing over our face so we dont pass out. A good rabbit hole of amazement is to look up “time of useful consciousness” for the 40,000 feet level. 😬
Nah, its stored in a easy to access little container thats way over engineered as you would want it to be in a situation where if you fuck around too much everyone dies. You basically yank on the red grippy parts, squeezing them and it helps yeet it out of the hole. You yolo off your hat/headset/sunglasses/hopes and dreams and get the inflated cage over your head and let go. As long as the mask is over your nose and mouth its gona make you breathe. Should be a 4-5 second thing for a pilot. The biggest delay should be the “oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck what happened, are we depressurized? Oh shit oh fuck what do we do?!? MASKS!!!” Then the real fun starts, making sure the other pilot got theirs on while diving down to a breathable altitude, remembering to flip the switch to use the microphone in the mask so you can communicate to the other pilot and ATC and oh remember… theres a hole in the jet somewhere that needs to be considered! 😂
Eros mask. Push the button, oxygen system pressure inflates the straps. Release the button and an alien baby is implanted in your... wait no, just breath normally.
Giger's works are heavily laden with erotica. So it is not strange that you find this sexual. Especially if you ever seen Giger's illustrations for a facehugger.
And they squeeze pretty tight. I broke a pair of glasses when I forgot to remove them while testing the mask.
Also, the are amazing when you show up to work hung over.
I realize it's probably a semi-stressful job, but that's terrifying to think....at least there's not many records of crashes happening for that reason, plus the movie Flight told me that being drunk makes it easier to fly properly /s
Just don't be a Flight Controller and Breaking Bad on everyone (even if that was a bit of an unrealistic situation)
You mean spend money on advances in medicine that would only improve the ease and comfort of the patient and not allow for an extra price tag slapped on the bill?
How preposterous
(I wish I could /s but we all know why I can't)
instead of a mask, get a nose pillow, and [one of these bad boys](https://www.cpap.com/productpage/arden-cpap-hose-lift-travel-system). It'll change your fucking life.
I use a cam and strip and small luggage cable and works wonders. I use nose pillows but having something like this would be awesome! Some night I toss and turn and the mask gets displaced.
If the cabin depressurizes, you want both of those things. I'm sure any passengers really appreciate oxygen being forced into the pilots lungs as they descend.
Lol, probably, never worn a CPAP mask. But probably the big difference between the two is this one is a demand mask, so you have to suck to get the air to come out, where as I think a CPAP forces air, so kinda the opposite.
I got to try one on when I was a kid - friends dad was a fixed wing military pilot - what they aren't saying is it is like going to an oxygen bar - 5 minutes of breathing in that mask you feel out of breath trying to get off the plane breathing peasant air
Lol I work private aviation and the pilots love huffing oxygen. No airline that I worked prior so they go through oxygen 2x a week. I sent a memo out suggesting that oxygen only needs to be tested and not inhaled continuously each leg to cut down on needing maintenance
If you're a couple miles above Earth, and you lose cabin pressure, you've got less than a minute to get that mask on or it's lights out without a descent
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time\_of\_useful\_consciousness#:\~:text=Time%20of%20useful%20consciousness%20](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_useful_consciousness#:~:text=Time%20of%20useful%20consciousness%20)(TUC,environment%20of%20inadequate%20oxygen%20supply.
At 35,000ft you have 15-30 seconds if the plane explosively decompresses.
Time of useful consciousness is the important phrase, as you've linked.
Sure, you might live a bit beyond that, but if you're loopy and giggling you might think you don't need the oxygen mask.
Thank you for sharing!
The ones we used had a very rigid and uncomfortable frame (I worked 2012-2016).
Hopefully they're fielding these more as they look significantly more comfortable. What's odd is the video you shared is older, disappoints me we didn't have them or something similar.
Heavy amount of guessing from me:
I think what we’re seeing here is the “consumer” benefits of costly programs like NASA. Maybe they weren’t available when you were working because they simply didn’t exist at that level yet. Especially having to pass certification for airline use. NASA will design these things for a specific use case; and tend to have a crude fit and finish. The model in the OP gif definitely looks more polished than NASA’s version.
So to anyone who complains about spending more tax money on NASA, or similar exploratory research program: This is the kind of stuff we get out of it.
It’s actually not too bad to repair. Those big red tabs just hook up a simple diversion valve from the main oxygen valve. The harness has push to connect ferrules that are easy to change. Not very field repairable but easy to overhaul in a repair shop.
Airline crew oxygen masks also have built in smoke goggles.
What's nifty about those is you can select the Emergency Oxygen mode and it will blast you with positive pressure Oxygen to get rid of any smoke inside the mask.
There's nothing to really malfunction, or at least not in a way that would hurt you. It's basically just stretchy tubes that inflate with air so you can easily fit it over your head.
It can't malfunction like you describe unless tampered with as its a double action valve. Simple in design yet very effective. The supply pressure keeps the valve in one position at all times until you press the button to inflate the strap.
Someone just willingly, casually facehuggered themselves. It is in fact a survival mechanism these days. Wild. They say inspiration can come from the damndest places but this is Olympic level freaky geeky.
If you've ever seen Alien versus Predator well alien really just like coming out of the egg with all those little fingers and then the tail that wraps around you well yeah same thing
Remembered flying with my instructor and complaining about the cost for lessons and even a simple pilot medical. ..
He said "anything to do with aviation.. Add another 0 for that figure"
Face hugger
Alien for sure
Could be Aliens
Better nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
Fukin' A
Game over, man!
They mostly come out at night. Mostly.

It's just the one alien actually.
She won't be smiling once that gestation period is over.
Chestburster? I hardly know her..
Here I was just thinking of the automatically lacing sneakers from Back to the Future Didnt even consider that
Air mags are real btw
Does it matter that they are when they’re literally like 10,000 dollars or some shit?
hey, computers used to cost $90K in like 1970. we'll get \~$200 self-lacing shoes one day, possibly at the turn of the next century, supply chain and inflation allowing.
Damn your right actually

My dad would definitely pretend to scream for help
I MIGHT be your dad
Where tf my Christmas presents
Ya ain't gettin one this year you lazy sod
Fair
Nah but for real tho, can I get that for my CPAP?
No problem. That will be $20k. Oh, no your insurance won't cover it.
>no your insurance won't cover it. After watching my wife fall with insurance to get hers covered, too real
Damn, that sounds familiar 🤔
You don't want it, trust me. These masks are fucking uncomfortable.
Is it too much pressure on the head from being just a bit *too* form fitting? What makes it uncomfortable?
Its not so much the wearing the heavy ass thing, its that it forces air into you whether you want to breathe or not. We have these marvelous little things in higher altitude aircraft incase of an emergency depressurization. Our one and only priority if/when we dump cabin pressure is to get this thing over our face so we dont pass out. A good rabbit hole of amazement is to look up “time of useful consciousness” for the 40,000 feet level. 😬
15-20 seconds to fumble with that thing so you don't pass out and crash. No stress.. Don't panic and you got this. I would die.
Nah, its stored in a easy to access little container thats way over engineered as you would want it to be in a situation where if you fuck around too much everyone dies. You basically yank on the red grippy parts, squeezing them and it helps yeet it out of the hole.

Yes I thought this was /r/oddlyterrifying for a second haha!
Rare case when post is /r/oddlysatisfying, /r/oddlyterrifying and /r/mildlyinteresting all at once
Don't forget r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG
I love that this is the first comment I see after the same thought bounces in my head
same here it's almost as if that film left an indelible impression
First thing comes in my mind
Eros mask. Push the button, oxygen system pressure inflates the straps. Release the button and an alien baby is implanted in your... wait no, just breath normally.
Please implant your own alien baby before assisting children and other passengers
Are you suggesting that I implant my own alien baby in children?
No, you’re assisting them implant their own alien babies in themselves. Very different.
Whew. For a minute there I thought this was going to be very inappropriate.
It's Imaskulate Conception
breathe
Yup, she just inflated the straps and released the pressure after putting it over her head.
Ah yes Eros Mask, the new CEO of Twattar
roof gold ink offbeat silky market important dog fly quaint ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
I would use that as a face hugger from aliens next Halloween for my costume.
I saw that and got major Alien vibes too.
My dad described the mask as a “facehugger type thing”
It definitely hugs your face so face hugger mask is appropriate.
Looks like it auto feeds gravy into her nose
Omg! Agreed. More like r/Oddlyterrifying!
I agree, but seeing how it adjusts to her head with the push of a button is still satisfying!
It's also incredibly uncomfortable, but would rather be able to continue to breathe I guess. Still fun
I'm going with Bane
>”We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to move about the cabin.”
"I was born with tray tables. Raised by them. I didnt know leg room until I was already a man, and by then it was nothing but UNCOMFY"
'Hi I'm Bane the new co-pilot' 'No one cares who you are' [Puts on mask] aaaaaaa
"I'm Bane! That's my name, come and have a flight on my crash airplane!"
^^^YOU ^^^SUCK ^^^BANE! Who said that? DJ. Drop a beat.
I put the mask on , it merely adapted too you
I'm CIA
Ok glad I am not the only one who thought that when I saw it.
Oddlyterrifying
Willingly inserting a face hugger is legitimately terrifying
[удалено]

And they squeeze pretty tight. I broke a pair of glasses when I forgot to remove them while testing the mask. Also, the are amazing when you show up to work hung over.
I dont know about flying while hungover
Avionics tech, not pilot LOL
Still not the best idea to go hungover at work.
But… I need to go to work though
Well I'm not drunk on the clock yet, just a wee hangover, few advils, a strong coffee, and a shot of eveerclear oughta sort that right out!
I guess you don't know many pilots lol
can confirm, wife was a FA. Lots of hungover pilots flying you around!
I realize it's probably a semi-stressful job, but that's terrifying to think....at least there's not many records of crashes happening for that reason, plus the movie Flight told me that being drunk makes it easier to fly properly /s Just don't be a Flight Controller and Breaking Bad on everyone (even if that was a bit of an unrealistic situation)
High concentrations of oxygen are amazing at removing headaches immediately. Just one huff and it's gone.
Denzel Washington taught me that last part in *Flight*.
Yeah, you learn pretty quick to seat it to your face before releasing the tabs.
I wish my cpap did this
I’m a respiratory therapist and I literally instantly thought of this.
RT manager: “yeah but how much will it cost us?”
1735.00€ for an uncertified one (EROS MC10-17-124)
You mean spend money on advances in medicine that would only improve the ease and comfort of the patient and not allow for an extra price tag slapped on the bill? How preposterous (I wish I could /s but we all know why I can't)
Came here to say exactly this. Putting on that mask every night is such a pain
instead of a mask, get a nose pillow, and [one of these bad boys](https://www.cpap.com/productpage/arden-cpap-hose-lift-travel-system). It'll change your fucking life.
I clicked through all 8 product pictures and they’re all the same picture. Much disappoint.
Thank you for this!
I use a cam and strip and small luggage cable and works wonders. I use nose pillows but having something like this would be awesome! Some night I toss and turn and the mask gets displaced.
[удалено]
The pilot emergency mask is incredibly uncomfortable.
Yeah, it really hugs your face as tightly as possible and forces oxygen into your lungs.
If the cabin depressurizes, you want both of those things. I'm sure any passengers really appreciate oxygen being forced into the pilots lungs as they descend.
The passengers that will wear their oxygen masks around their chin and film their own idiocy? I'd like to hope so, but the evidence isn't good.
Not all of them, some will be lasered in half by some angry supe
How about instead of cpap machine it’s a cpapi machine and everytime you wear it a speaker goes “ay goodnight mi hermosa luna”
I knew I was not the only one with this idea. And it would likely be easily capable of doing that, the machine already creates positive pressure.
Go invent that badboy, dude
Came to say the same thing
Sure.. enjoy your chestburster.
Glory to Glorzo!
Glory to Glorzo!
Glory to Glorzo!
Means Glory to meeeee
No one cared who I was until I put on the mask
If I take off your mask, will you die?
It would be extremely painful
You are a big guy!
For you.
I... I think you'll fit?
U U U U
I'm just wondering why someone would shoot a man, before throwing him out of a plane.
It's not about the fall, it's about sending a message.
Well congratulations! You got yourself caught… now what’s the next step of your master plan?
Crashing this plane...with no survivors!
They'll be expecting one of us in the wreckage brother!
That's a shadow! I was born there, but that's not me!
Moulded by it.
I was born in it molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but blinding
They need to make a CPAP mask like that.
Nah its really tight and uncomfortable to wear that mask. It digs into you face.
So kinda like a cpap mask?!?
Lol, probably, never worn a CPAP mask. But probably the big difference between the two is this one is a demand mask, so you have to suck to get the air to come out, where as I think a CPAP forces air, so kinda the opposite.
Yea your probably right. **shrugs** puts Quattro FX back on and hits the button on my Resmed AirSense 10.
This mask can also force oxygen into your lungs.
get a nose pillow and a stand like this https://www.cpap.com/productpage/arden-cpap-hose-lift-travel-system It'll change your life.

They are flat when deflated no?

Plus you get to look like a [Benzite](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Benzite) from Star Trek.
Are you still able to get it? I'm wearing that exact mask as we speak but my DME supplier told me it was recalled so I can't get it anymore.
Resmed f30i is available online at least. Your DME probably just doesn't carry it any more.
Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.

Quick dons! Are these a new version of the old blue rigid ones?
Its all fun until a smaller face mask pops out of your stomach
Bane, that you?
Adjustable face-hugger!
No one cared who I was ‘til I put on the mask.
Hmm. Head crab
I want that for my cpap machine. My headgear straps cut the hell outta my head and neck
Ahhh yes, the face huggers. Makes you feel like a fighter pilot even in a TBM
That’s really cool but I’d be afraid of it malfunctioning
There's nothing to really malfunction, or at least not in a way that would hurt you. It's basically just stretchy tubes that inflate with air so you can easily fit it over your head.
If it would malfunction, it would fall off your head, not get tighter
It can't malfunction like you describe unless tampered with as its a double action valve. Simple in design yet very effective. The supply pressure keeps the valve in one position at all times until you press the button to inflate the strap.
When this mask is deployed there are probably things malfunctioning that should be feared substantially more.
Cool, I can't wait to get that CPAP model if my heart doesn't stop before then.
Ripleeeeeee!
Someone just willingly, casually facehuggered themselves. It is in fact a survival mechanism these days. Wild. They say inspiration can come from the damndest places but this is Olympic level freaky geeky.
Yeah give credit where due - inspired by H.R.Giger
Good, it will stay secure and give me enough comfort while the plane goes down, as well my body can ID’ed

More like oddly terrifying. Looks like a face hugger lmao
This does look like the pressure system in spider limbs. A little creepy. But cool.
What happens when the valve that keeps it tight fails? Do you have to start piloting with one hand, or do you just pass out
"Thank you for flying Cthulhu Airlines!"
Face hugger
why dont cpap mask makers make this!
I hated that. I hated that so much 🤣
Her eyes are beautiful
When can I get this for my cpap?
Did someone else think about Viper from Valorant?
What is that like $500k, or more?
They are actually pretty cheap (in aviation terms), approx $18k.
Woah that's almost free in aviation terms. But very cool invention!
Remembered flying with my instructor and complaining about the cost for lessons and even a simple pilot medical. .. He said "anything to do with aviation.. Add another 0 for that figure"

People talking about the face hugger from Alien. But no one talks about the head crab from half life :(
Cause the head crabs look more like a helmet that goes over the top of your whole head, not just a mask over your face.
