Well, did you ever fly commercial back in the 1950s? Passengers actually 
went through a small "how to" course. Now it's so routine no one bothers 
to look at the canned demo on the small TV screens. Flying suborbital 
will provide an unusual experience and some folks might panic. Case in 
point: I went into full panic mode during my first diving lesson, which 
startled me more than my diving instructor. After a couple of minutes I 
got myself under control and everything went okay, but thank goodness 
the instructor was there to reassure me. So a small bit of training for 
our first passengers will be helpful while we are all learning about 
this new way to get to places, until taking a suborbital ride will be as 
relaxing as the red-eye from Vegas to BWI.  ;->  Aleta

Maybe I'm off in the weeds here, but I'm wondering if
customer training might not approximate airline
passenger training.  It seems to me that most
emergencies that can't be solved by putting on your
oxygen mask (or equivalent), rapid evacuation after
landing, or fastening and unfastening your
seatbelt/harness; aren't very survivable anyway.  For
instance, learning how to put on a life vest is useful
information only in the rare event that the airplane
doesn't dash into the water at 500 mph.
