I am frequent flier and every time I am on the plane I surprised how many people do ignore seat bell sign. I am not talking only about stewardess reminders to wear seat belt all the time during flight. People are not wearing their seat belt while seat belt sign is on during flight or during landing. Every year accidents happens because of turbulence with injuries or even deaths which could be avoided in most cases if people would wear seat belts. Latest accident happened yesterday in Hong Kong with 7 people injured.
Here is good example why you shouldn’t ignore signs:
and why you must wear seat belt during landing. May be it is the best landings, but for passengers who were sitting on the plane it wasn’t the best experience.
Like in the car seat belt is for your safety and most people even without thinking wear seat belts in the car. The same you should do on the plane. It is not a toy and you shouldn’t ignore the signs.
I am sold. I am going to always wear my seat belt.
Eeeek – this is crazy, I always wear my seatbelt, but I think I’ll be belting up nice and tight the next time I fly!
I totally agree- I’m always shocked that people ignore these warnings. I hadn’t seen this video though, and yeah- another reason why you should wear it!
I always do wear a seat belt, except when I leave the seat–it’s become a force of habit!
