Safety being compromised

I do beleive that safety is being compromised ( In the Cabin ) I have travelled on low cost just a few times and the amount of baggage that is being carried Into the cabin per person and put In the overhead lockers Is to much,On my last trip ZRH - LGW There were Nine people with three peices of baggage many had suitcases Quite large ( and larger than the official size for cabin Baggage ) being put Into the overhead locker one person could hardly lift It. I was sitting two seats away from one of the said pax who had a laptop case , a ruck sack and a suitcase all taken into the cabin and the suitcase went into the overhead locker. If the overhead lockers came down In an accident they would probably break all of our necks. I checked to see If there was a weight limit after the flight and there was a clear Placard staighting the weight In the lockers. But the rules are not being adheered to.

PS Sorry about the Spelling
