Those sitting in airports can find themselves with spare time to kill.

A feature at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport can entertain passengers between flights and potential delays.

The American Heart Association debuts a hands-only CPR training kiosk to teach the public about heart safety.

The kiosk features a touch screen with a video program that gives an introduction to CPR, followed by a practice session and a 30-second test.

The public can practice on a rubber torso as the kiosk gives feedback about the depth and rate of compressions.

In total, the training will last about five minutes.

CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival, according to the American Heart Association.
