They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.

I guess there wasn't enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 15 points 4 days ago

I wonder if you've ever listened to the part of the safety briefing before every flight where they instruct you to keep the seatbelt fastened throughout the entire flight.

Judging by the number of clicks I hear when the seatbelt light turns off, I'd say most people don't.

Where I fly they also always advise to remain fastener regardless of no immediate warnigs. Exactly for situations like this - and others.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but people are still going to be using the bathrooms and such, even if you assume everyone actually obeys the rules

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Pour one out for the poor fella who finally got his turn to poop just before this happened.

[–] yamper@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

because of a few exception cases this is never going to work

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

At any time, you can expect at least 2-6 people out of their seats if the fasten seatbelts sign isn't on. But I don't really care about that part, shit happens

Planes shouldn't be dodging each other in the first place... That's the actual problem here. I don't blame the pilot either, they avoided a collision, so as far as I'm concerned they did what they had to do

The situation itself never should have happened

[–] yamper@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i dont even know what youre trying to state or argue. seatbelts should be worn by all seated passengers at all times to mitigate risk of injury in case something that shouldn't happen does end up happening. obviously there are exceptions like when people need to piss and shit.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 4 days ago

No duh. I don't care if a few people got slammed into the ceiling

I care that two planes almost collided and killed everyone

Why even consider the seat belts? They're not the real issue here

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You should always have the belt on unless you are standing up for some reason. This story is exactly why.
