What's wrong
IF A PASSENGER TRIES TO EXIT THE LAVATORY COMPARTMENT BY PUSHING WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE LAVATORY WINDOW AND HIS LEGS AGAINST THE LAVATORY DOOR, THE WINDOW CAN SEPARATE.
The risk
IF THE WINDOW SEPARATES, THE OCCUPANT CAN FALL THROUGH THE WINDOW AND SUFFER SEVERE AND/OR EXTREME INJURIES.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RAIL IN THE LAVATORY COMPARTMENT WINDOW SO THAT LAVATORY OCCUPANTS CAN PRESS AGAINST THE RAIL RATHER THAN THE WINDOW, AND TO HELP THE PASSENGER TO KEEP BALANCE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.
