why do airplanes have seatbelts?
In: Other
The odds of surviving an airplane crash are 95%.
Seat belts and bracing are a large contributor to this.
The stereotypical high speed nose into terrain smash and burn type crashes are very very rare.
Most of the time the “crash” is a very rough landing somewhere it wasn’t supposed to or something weturbulancent wrong with a landing on a runway.
In which case the seat belt helped, by keeping the passengers in their seats and not flopping about the cabin getting hurt.
Also as mentioned elsewhere, turbulence.
