Mile-high madness with Richard Simmons …

Air New Zealand has become famous for their entertaining and slightly bizarre safety demonstration videos. This year they have enlisted the help of zany exercise guru Richard Simmons to educate passengers about onboard safety in a new Fit to Fly video.

The video features an airplane full of passengers decked out in 80’s exercise togs as they are led through a workout by frizzy-haired Simmons. He yells: “Stretch and slide! Yeah! You’re a giraffe!”

Another interesting video, dubbed Bare Essentials, features a crew of flight attendants giving safety instructions while wearing nothing but body paint — intended to assimilate their uniforms. See that video here.
