Well we should consider welcoming them to the 21st century then for doing the bare minimum at a snail's pace.

That can be solved up until a certain point by submerging everyone in liquid and forcing them to breath liquid oxygen. We'll also have to inject liquid into their body cavities as well.

We should setup a remote control passenger plane filled with crash test dummies to test this, to see if it does exceed the limits of the black box.
