"If you're seated, even if the sign isn't on, wear your seat belt."

every commercial plane I've been on in the last 10+ years has said that.

everyone must OBEY! -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:25 21
- by all means, don't wear it. just don't come whining to me when you smash into a bulkhead. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:28 20
  - I'm just saying, in the middle of a long flight, I have a lot of sympathy. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:29 19
    - Honestly I have no idea how wearing the seatbelt is a big deal. It's not even noticeable unless you're getting up. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 08:31 18
      - have you ever worn one for a 12 hour flight? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:32 7
        
        I'm not saying you shouldn't get up and stretch your legs, but while you're seated I don't get how it's anything to have your seatbelt on. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 08:38 1
        
        Flight to London, I think it was off a total of 20 minutes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:46
        
        I don't even notice it, personally. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:35 3
        
        maybe you have no claustrophobia. I don't mind airplanes at all but I do mind being strapped down for hours. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:36 2
        
        I can't get comfortable on airplanes at all. My legs are too long and my shoulders are too wide for the seats. But the seatbelt is by far the least - pmb Aug 4, 08:42
        
        I'm the twitchy'est human ever. I have wide shoulders for most domestic plane rides. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:40
        
        yes. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 08:33
      - yeah, same here. it's not like you're wearing a shoulder harness. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:32

        I can only speak for me, but even when I started traveling extensively (weighed in the mid-200s then) the seat belt didn't bug me -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:36 1

        Did you just call loosi fat? (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 08:34 5

        It. Was. A. Joke. (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 08:39 2

        I got it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:39
        
        and out of shape, I believe. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:35
maybe they just sat down and were going to put their setabelts on! -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:20 21
- Maybe I shit flowers out of my ass - ty97 Aug 4, 08:21 20
  - really? I bet that comes in handy on dates. - mafic Aug 4, 08:23 1
    - "Roses really smell like boo boo." -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:32
  - I disagree with that. By far. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:22 17
    - Not during takeoff/landing of course, but other than that, yeah, people get up and move around at will. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:25 16
      - taxiing after landing too. saw a dude fall over once when the pilot hit the brakes a little hard at the gate. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:26 3
        
        they're driving what, 30mph? yeah, you should be seated. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:26 2
        
        it's usually people trying to gain that extra six seconds on everyone else right as you pull up to the gate. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:29 1
        
        I really wish they would show videos of what can go wrong if you ignore. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:35
      - well shoot, they even tell you not to sit the whole time so you won't get blood clots. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:26 3
        
        I've never heard an airline say you can't get up. What I normally hear is. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:28 2
        
        I know I have read advice in the inflight magazine that says to walk around. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:30 1
        
        Right. They don't require you to stay seated at all times throughout the flight. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:40
      - [deleted] 7
        
        And that's a personal choice. Airline warns you, you choose to ignore. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:26 6

        oh, I know - ty97 Aug 4, 08:29 4
        
        Look, I know I have responsibility if I choose to stand up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:34

        right. I could just see them angling as "no announcement, or not enough announcements were made" - ty97 Aug 4, 08:38
