3. Obesity Isn't The Only Factor
Smaller families mean that a larger proportion of the passengers are likely to be adults.

including carry-on baggage.

We do carry a lot of stuff around with us: cellphones, mp3 players, laptops, cameras....

The FAA and the Coast Guard have to consider the additional gear we carry around (most of which didn't exist in 1960) and the smaller number of children as well as expanding waistlines.
