Just wondering about other peoples experiences when sitting in an exit row on an A330 (or other aircraft that have similar) when you are near to the window and have the large semi cirlce shaped structure for the emergency exit escapde slide, have you rested your legs on it?
I do this quite often once underway obviously and probably more so at night time than during the day, and usually the FA's will say nothing, however the other day one of them told me to move my legs off of it, explaining that it has 2 x 120kg cylinders inside it. I felt like saying "Yeah and..." but I just moved my legs.
Resting your legs on one of these will not cause any damage nor will it hurt a steel cylinder.
I read the sign on it and the only thing it says is "Do not sit here", it says nothing about resting your legs on it and most FA don't seem to mind.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
