Is it because the plane will mostly hit nose first on the ground?
Has it ever been a case where people in front died/suffered injuries and the people in the back were fine? Is the back sturdier because it needs to withstand the force of the tail elevators?
In: Physics
Don’t forget the inertia. All loose objects (and people) in the moment of the hit are flying from the back to the front and hitting whatever they meet in the front of them. If you are safely attached in the back, there is a smaller chance of getting some hard suitcase or a 200km/h trolley in your head. If you are not strapped correctly, it is you who is flying to the front.
