    Wear seatbelt even if the sign is not lit. Planes are designed to handle turbulence, the human body is not.

    People need to see the video's of the stress tests the wings go through. It would make them terrified. Those wings can handle a lot of turbulence.

    Wear your god darn seatbelts. I don’t understand why people do not wear them on planes! This is exactly why we always bought our children plane tickets and they were fastened in their car seats. Holding a baby on your seat is not safe.

      People think they are invincible and that it'll never happen to them. Bet you they will wear a seatbelt from now on.

      @@juniesco that was the reason we always bought our kids plane tickets when they were babies and infants. A close family friend is a pilot for Northwest. He warned us early on and told us he had seen some horrific accidents with babies.

    And people still don’t have a seatbelt on during flight. Just worked three flights today (I’m a flight attendant) and just shook my head as I went through the aisle. People. Will. Never. Learn.

    Planes are super durable, especially their wings lol. If only that guy had seen the stress testing they go under. Having been in severe turbulence myself, it's no fun. Glad they're all OK though.
