New Zealand Air's Nude Safety Video a Big Hit With Passengers

By Robert Paul Reyes

"New Zealand's national airline has adopted a cheeky way to encourage passengers to watch its in-flight safety video: The cabin crew's uniforms are nothing but body paint.

The 'Bare Essentials of Safety,' screening in the cabins of planes flying Air New Zealand's main domestic routes, has gone viral online. It had 1.2 million YouTube views by Friday, four days after it was launched." Ray Lilley/The Associated Press


An airline's in-flight safety video is as exhilarating as watching grass grow; I'd rather read the boring in-flight magazine while the safety video is being screened. I wouldn't have a clue what to do if my plane was about to hit the ground -- the only thing I recall about the in-flight safety video is that my seat can be used as a flotation device.

I applaud Air New Zealand Air for thinking outside the box, and coming up with an innovative way of teaching survival techniques to their passengers.

I have seen the video and it is family-friendly fare, parents who are traveling with their children should allow them to watch the video. There are no naughty parts on display, but it's still a fun video to watch.

Watch the video for yourself ( It's not X-rated or even PG-Rated)
