Maybe, since you didn't get my point.
RE the comment regarding "who has never seen a seat belt"...
That was me...
... well it's a well known fact in an emergency that passengers go to unfasten their seat belt as tho they were in a car, as its the only one they are familiar with.
Two answers to that...
- How many people in an emergency know how to unlock their car safety belt?
- If you're right, shouldn't be aircraft seat belts be designed like car safety belts?
Hence why we always make sure your belt is fastened with the buckle to the front.
Nice to know you do. But what if you can't fasten the belt except by twisting the belt (nice during a crash)? As I described, I figured it out. being an engineer
The average pax wouldn't.
