Why do so many designs have/show the bulkheads so far forward/aft?  What is
the point to having a foot of space behind the seat and a foot of space
ahead of the foot braces?  Doesn't this equal an inordinate amount of extra
water (read weight) in a flooded cockpit?  Not to mention the possibility of
sliding down into the cockpit (possible entrapment) at an inopportune
moment?

Just curious,
Marvin
