How : to Survive a Plane Crash
In reality, the odds of dying on a flight operated by a commercial airline are only one in nine million. That being said, a great deal can go wrong at an altitude of 33,000 feet (10,058.4 meters), and if you have the misfortune to be on edge when it happens, the choices you make could determine whether or not you live or die. Even if the worst happens, the odds aren't as low as you would believe they are because nearly 95% of airline crashes include survivors. If you're lucky, you might be one of them. You are able to learn how to plan for the safety of every flight, how to maintain your composure throughout the accident itself, and how to endure the aftermath of the disaster.
1-Preparing for Flights
1-Dress in a relaxed manner
In the event that you survive an accident, you will require the ability to warm yourself up. Although this is not a factor to be considered, the more of your body that is covered when you take a hit, the less likely it is that you will suffer significant injuries or burns. Put on long pants, a shirt with long sleeves, and shoes with laces that are both robust and comfy.
- Clothing that is too baggy or too elaborate creates a risk since it has the potential to get caught on one of the many obstacles that are present inside of an airplane. Dress adequately for the flight if you are aware that you will be passing over colder regions, and give some thought to placing a jacket over your lap.
- Clothing made of cotton or wool is also desirable because it is less likely to catch fire. When flying over water, wool is superior over cotton because wool does not lose its insulating capabilities to the same amount that cotton does when it becomes wet. Cotton loses its insulating properties when it becomes damp.
2- Put on some shoes that are comfortable
Sandals and high heels make it harder to move swiftly in an emergency, despite the fact that you want to be as comfortable as possible or look as professional as possible while you're in the air. On the evacuation slides, high heels are not permitted since they have the potential to damage the slides, you run the risk of cutting your feet and toes on the glass, and you could also risk getting flammable chemicals on or inside your sandals if you wear them.
3- Take a seat in the very back of the aircraft
In the case of a crash, the likelihood of survival for passengers seated in the plane's rear rows is forty percent higher than that of passengers seated in the plane's front rows. Because a rapid exit provides the greatest potential for survival, it is in your best interest to select a seat that places you as close as possible to a door, an aisle, and the rear of the aircraft.
- Yes, according to the statistics, traveling in economy class is a safer option than flying in first class. The money you save could end up being what keeps you alive.
4- Read the safety data sheet and listen to the pre-flight safety briefing
Yes, you may have heard it all before and hopefully never need it, but if you keep your headphones on during pre-flight instructions or ignore the safety data sheet, you will lose information that could be vital in the event of an accident.
