Would that have actually deterred something like this scenario though? Sounds like it wasn't a rational decision of "Hmm, I'd like to get off this place, ugh are there going to be repercussions though?"
If it's a situation where someone just has a complete mental collapse to where they're biting a FA and need to be duct taped down, including over their mouth... I'm not sure any rational consideration of repercussions is going to make a difference.
