    As someone who flies more than 100 times in an average year I can tell you that only idiots don’t wear their seatbelts all the time in an airplane. I was traveling with someone who was a new traveler who thought that experienced travellers didn’t wear their seatbelts so he refused to wear his. I asked to be moved to a row where people were wearing their seatbelts. When we landed and he got in me about it I told him that not only might he be injured when he hit the ceiling but that he might injured me on his way down. He wore his seatbelt after that any time we flew together.

      It’s really not that difficult to wear a seatbelt, I don’t understand the people that don’t. It’s less restrictive than the belt holding up your pants and it’s not like there is an annoying shoulder strap.

        He thought that it made him look like an experienced flyer. I suspect that some of them are members of the you-can’t-tell-me-what-to-do crowd.
