Here’s something that might get old for the frequent traveler – watch Richard Simmons’ Air New Zealand in-flight safety video.

You have to admit it’s different – and more lively – than any other safety instructions you ever get, but how safe is Richard Simmons going to make you feel in the air?

Richard Simmons says in the flight safety video: “Hi, everybody, In the next three minutes we’re going to work hard, work out and get you fit to fly… First let’s stretch it out, and lose that baggage. Stretch it up to the overhead locker or slide it under the seat in front of you. Stretch and slide!”

Bonus points for getting The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan in on the action (look for him at 1:20)!

Dang! Have you seen The Amazing Race watermelon slingshot accident? Take a look at the Amazing Race video clip, where home shopping hosts Brooke and Claire must complete a slingshot-a-watermelon-at-a-suit-of-armor challenge.

One of the ladies attempts several times, before taking a melon to the face! Her partner gives her about a minute of recovery before saying, “you have to finish.”
