And the reason that I mentioned Felix was to try to remind the people who are in the group around him that he's there.
I'll admit that it is a little funny that they're not responding to him/unstrapping him, but I'm thinking that it's funny towards the character. For the person playing the character, I would think that it'd be very annoying/frustrating. I know that it'd bug me to no end, so I can't blame you for not liking it Gabag.
