The way I understood it, the Load cost is for the seat plus the occupant. Normal car
seats don't weigh 100 kg, I know that for certain :)

So yeah, you could rule that, say, 90 kg of that mass is the person sitting in it, and the
seat itself is only 10 kg. Then you _could_ build a drone with a bucket seat and put a
skinny person in it to pilot the thing, but IMHO it's getting very close to the edge of
munchkinism.
