Indeed. But the way it was put to our cohort at the Cranebank training session was that if your back would inhibit you from carrying a 25kg bag of potatoes above your head then you best sit somewhere else. That's what the door on the older jets is like, though it's somewhat less hard work on the newer plastic 'planes.

Did it have a headrest? The front of that aircraft should be Pinnacle seating rather than SL3510.
