Did you not bother to read my point about 95th percentile design? I realize I'm an outlier and I am used to having to occasionally stoop to use a shower. How Marriott is implementing these doesn't even accommodate the 50th percentile (which would be an 82-83" shower height for this type of showerhead - not 71") - much less 95th percentile. This accommodates the 10th percentile of women's height or the 1st percentile of men's height. Even if you are aggressive and aim for a 6" fall height, this still means this is implemented for people shorter than 5'5" which is the 10th percentile of men.
This is not a "tall person" problem. This is an everyone problem that is doubly aggravated for someone that is tall.
