Why?

"Ryanair holds one of the strongest safety records in aviation history. Since its founding in 1985, the airline has carried hundreds of millions of passengers across tens of millions of flights without a single fatal passenger crash."

"It is the largest airline in Europe by scheduled passengers carried, fleet size, and total flights. Globally, it is the largest airline by international passengers carried, the third-largest by market capitalisation behind Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, and the fifth-most profitable by net income. In 2025, the company sold 208 million airline tickets."
 
He would die from hypoxia much quicker at cruise altitude, but breathing would actually be more difficult (more air pressure) at the altitude at which this occurred, assuming the aircraft has accelerated to climb speed by then, which it should have.

If you wonder how it's possible to breathe up there then get a hold of this story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_5390

So much confidence inspired by that statement. Maimed, in a wheelchair, lost all limbs, deaf, blind, eating through a tube, all counts as not fatal.

In 2017 it celebrated its one billionth passanger. I recall reading somewhere it's around 3B now. Those are staggering numbers.
 
Where are the seats? Or do you only get a ironing board on those fights?

If you remove the non-fatal aspect then it would still have an excellent record.

Yeah people don't realise how huge this airline is. It has 620+ 737's (FlySafair has 35 lol) and what's probably even more impressive is that it's all paid off.

I'm not talking whether the air at X altitude is breathable or not - stick your head out the window while doing 60 and it's already harder to breathe. At 120 it's quite unpleasant (c'mon, don't tell me you didn't do this as a kid :P ), at cruising speed (800+) it must be damn near impossible.

Never did it as a kid. Did it as an adult. 😎
