I found this interesting since we have a number of people on here that defend wearing backpacks while boarding. Just discourteous and poor behavior IMO. Young women are actually worst than young men in this regard. Just take the damn thing off and carry it!!!
"'Some passengers are unaware of how many people they may be hitting with their backpacks as they board the aircraft. Please take off your backpacks and wear or carry them in front. There has been more than one flight attendant—and I'm certain passengers as well—who has been injured severely by these items. I, for one, had my head nearly taken off and had to actually go to physical therapy and a chiropractor for weeks." —Monica Ehman, flight attendant for 18 years
