if passengers don't want to wear their seatbelt or hide it from the CC then that's their problem; you can't blame the company if you crash but weren't wearing a seatbelt.
- if only it were that simple!
It is difficult with some of the 'know-it-alls' we have to carry to make them understand that the belt is as much for the protection of those in front of them should they become projectiles in a rapid deceleration. Even in an aborted take-off it is possible an 'average' pax could 'weigh' the equivalent of anything from 400 lbs upwards and if that hits you in the back of the neck while you are sitting strapped in like a good boy........................................
In severe turbulence the same weight could float serenely around the roof of the cabin before coming crashing down on said unsuspecting pax.
It should also be remembered that refusal to obey the 'fasten seat-belt' instruction is a breach of law and punishable as such and that anyone disobeying same would not only be liable in law for their own injuries but also for any they caused to others.
NW3 - a good idea but HKPAX has shown how the above would circumvent it!
