Default Sound-proof synthetic leather in planes

The emergency doors of airplanes are coated with synthetic leather.



No. Not here on planet Earth. Where are you writing from?

This synthetic leather is sound-proof and air-tight.



No, and no.

One purpose of this is to prevent those on-board from asphyxiation.



No.

The other is to protect the ears of those on-board.



No.

The sound emitted from the plane exceeds 140 dB.



No.

...sounds above 140 dB are not perceived as sound but are instead
felt as pain.



No.

Hence...



Do you just make this up as you go along? Its not even very
good fiction. Either learn to check your facts, or you need more
practice in creative writing.

If there is a fire on-board and close to the emergency door, the
leather will lose it's sound-proofing and air-tight qualities.



And in case of an on-board fire, protecting passengers ears
is clearly more important than whatever the fire is doing.
Suggest engaging a sanity-checker along with the fact-
checker.


Well, if the synthetic leather on the emergency door loses its
air-proof qualities, those in the plane will suffocate as the
atmosphere way up there is too thin to support human life. There
simply isn't enough oxygen.

It is the air-tight qualities of this leather that enables it to
soften dangerously-loud sounds as well as prevent the breathable air
inside the plane from escaping outside.

As for fire, there are several reason why they are dangerous even if
they don't attack the emergency doors' synthetic leather. Those who
are burning in the plane are in excruciating pain and fear. They may
want to commit suicide to escape the pain. If an emergency door is
burnt open, passengers may jump out to escape the agony. If a
passenger tried to hold onto the plane to cling to life and his/her
hand contacts flames from the plane, his/her pain reflexes will force
him/her to let go and fall to his/her death. So much for reflexes!

In addition, if the pilot is on fire or about to be burnt by the
flames, his fear of the flames and/or pain caused by the thermal burns
will likely cause him/her to attempt suicide by letting go of the
controls. Now, even if the pilot tried his/her best to ignore the pain
and continue manuvering in order to make the landing as safely as
possible, the pain reflexes will cause him/her to lose control of
his/her voluntary movements -- the pilot won't we able to operate the
plane properly due to muscle spasms...

... Now lets say the pilot is somehow able to ignore the pain and
control his/her reflexes... then the excruciating pain will put the
pilot in a state of neurogenic and psychogenic shock and extreme
confusion. As stress hormones [such as endorphins] are released, the
pilot's level of consciousness will decrease.

Extreme psychological stress [caused by physical pain] can impair
consciousness and the pilot will no longer be able to navigate. The
decrease in consciousness is evolution's way to to protect the
conscious mind from emotional trauma. This is why those who've been in
psychological agony, can't remember the event. Those who've been in
war, prison, or were molested as kids, have a hard time remembering
the incident because it is so traumatic. However, such 'protection'
offers no benefit to the pilots on-board.

Flames inside the plane are nasty both in terms of their shapes and
colors. They resemble the orangish-yellow--reddish-pink flames of that
resulting from ignited wood, cotton, grass, petroleum, and other
compounds that burn with that yellow nasty-shaped flames. These shapes
and colors evoke intense primal fears in us humans. The flames that
plagued our pre-historic ancestors were orangish-yellow with a hint of
reddish-pink. Forest fires and grassland fires. Hence, when we see
these colors and shapes, our ancient fears are triggered. Pre-historic
humans were burnt by these flames. The wounds resulting from these
flames were excruciatingly painful. So painful that they caused
neurogenic shock. The burn victims and the bystanders started
developing intense fears of these flames. Equally frightening was
these burn wounds looked like white foam. White due to thermal
denaturing of pigments -- such as melanin. Foamy due to denaturing of
proteins in the skin. Also, such heat from flames dehydrated the skin,
further making the wounds frightening in appearance. This is why
orangish-yellow--reddish-pink flames are so terrifying to us.


Yeah, yeah I know. Much of this post is
exteeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeemely OT. Please don't get upset at me.


Much of this post is exteremly wrong.

Did you get these ideas after sampling the fumes from your simulated
leather?
