Airline seat belts are particularly useful when an airplane encounters turbulence. When this occurs, a plane can rise or fall very quickly, and passengers who are not belted into their seats can easily be slammed against the ceilling of the cabin, or otherwise injured. A few years back, a couple of passengers were killed in an incident (I think it was an American Airlines jet) where a plane descended very unexpectedly, and it prompted airlines to recommend that passengers use their seatbelts unless they actually had to be out of their seats.

if reality learn that seat belts for bus riders are to extreme priced and if a bus had seat belts in a foul crash the seats detach because seats are only bolted to floor. would not make sense no longer to have seat belts for in large crash insurance expenses are very extreme priced. On a plane, seat belts artwork in turbulence yet in a head on with earth or different gadgets it really is distinctly a lot a raw deal for they don't artwork at that factor. yet another known commonplace that has out lived it really is understanding of why. different words both must have seat belts.

If you experience strong turbulence that can literally knock you out of your chair then you would make sure to wear your seat belt. Seat belts are also in the event of sudden drop or crash. This is rarely the case though. You are more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash.

Often during take off, flight and decent (Landing) the air can become turbulent and a person could be thorwn about the cabin. Even while seated, a person could injure themselves on the seat in front of them if thrown into it quickly. It also keeps passengers from getting up during those times and walking around, which can be very dangerous during turbulent times of the flight.

To hold you in during Take off and Landings and turbulence.
I was on a flight to Australia, when 6 hours into the flight we hit some kind of wind shear or air pocket... the plane dropped a few hundred feet... the guy in front of me hit his head on the air vents and was bleeding profusely.
I always wear my seatbelt, even while sleeping on a plane any class I fly.

The was recently an article in "The Economist" about this. Seatbelts actually improve safety a lot. They protect against severe turbulance injuries.

Well, ya know...sometimes it can get quite turbulent up there...there have been reported incidences of planes dropping several hundred feet and unsecured passengers flying up and hitting the ceilings.

Turbulance could send you flying from one end of the plane to the other without a seatbelt.

it would help in turbulence and if the plane has structural damage and a portion of it flies off in flight you won't be sucked out. It can happen and it has...

no it really for air turbulence, it will help keep you in your seat if the plane drops down or shakes in the air...
