Airplanes should have HUGE wheels on the sides of them so that even if they go down they can roll -- (they tires would float too!). The planes would look like this:

Can't crash with big wheels... can't even take off! |

Even if a plane with wheels like that could get off the
ground how would they help in a crash? Say the engines
fail and the plane plummets 10,000 metres to the ground (I
doubt there would be a whole lot of gliding with wheels
like that). What then? A few metres of inflated rubber
aren't going to cushion the blow of tens of tons of
airframe hitting the ground (or water) from that height
very effectively... |

But the passengers should be OK. They'll have their seat
cushions and lifejackets to keep them from getting
squished. |

How about ejector seats for everyone on the plane, with a HUGE retractable sunroof? |
|

Hmmm. I wonder what this button does. BANG! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! X 400 |
|

The button is in the cockpit and you have to remove the key to use it. |

This just in: After the bold decision of BigWeel Air to offer ground-only service following the realization that their one and only giant-wheeled plane cannot fly, it's signiture plane struck a large tree this morning causing a massive explosion. However, because this is the only known plane to have ejection seats for all 400 seats, there were no injuries. |

Now I'm worried. If big wheels protect you from crashes they why do they normally use those tiny little ones on 'planes - they're smaller than the ones on my car? Does this also apply to bicycles? If so then the penny-farthing must be soooo safe. |
