How safe a haven?

And you still have the seatliner issue; since there will
typically be multiple shuttle launches over the life of that
Soyuz, you'd have to get all the shuttle crewmembers fitted
for them.

Is that a big deal? Or could inflatable or moldable few-sizes-
fit-all seatliners be developed for emergency use? Perhaps not as
good as custom-fitted ones, but better than the alternative...

Cosmonaut grows in space

A cosmonaut cannot fit in the seat of the spaceship due
to bring him home because he has grown taller. Salizhan
Sharipov has lost a natural curve in his spine after four
month in zero gravity reports The Sun. Scientist say to
get him back to earth he will have to wear a special
extra-tight suit known as a penguin costume. The suit
will make him smaller and able to fit into his seat
on the Soyuz spacecraft.
