In fact, the chances of surviving an airplane crash are surprisingly good.
Here are things you can do to ensure your safety.
Choose your seat wisely.
According to studies, the safest place to sit is in the rear third of the plane, with the last row deemed the very safest because it’s closest to the rear exit.
Your chances of surviving a plane crash are high if your seat is within five rows of an exit.
Remember the plus three, minus eight rule. Be alert during the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing.
Avoid wearing flammable synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. Instead, go for natural materials like cotton or wool.
Keep your seat belt properly tightened at all times you're on the aircraft.
Read the safety card and listen to the flight attendants.
