It straps you to the seat so when the plane suddenly drops 50 feet due to turbulence your dumbass doesn’t launch into the ceiling.
I have observed that “very clever” people on the internet have a tendency to disregard solutions that are only partial, even if there is little to no downside to them.
If you follow avherald.com for any length of time, you’ll learn that 1) the vast majority of aviation incidents are completely benign, and 2) the vast majority of injuries aboard airliners are caused by passengers not wearing their seatbelts. The seatbelts aren’t there for the once-a-decade crash; they’re there for the once-a-month strong turbulence event, which the airplane itself will barely even notice.
…what? Obviously. It’s for turbulence, which is common. This comic is a joke, but not how it’s intended to be.
No, comics are the primary legitimate source of facts so I’m sure it’s true.
That sounds a bit sketchy… Now if you had presented that statement in comic form, I might believe it.

looks grotesque, and even just drawing stick figures would still work for the joke

Is that better or worse than being told you have a face for radio?

That factoid is from a decade or two ago, when clear air turbulence was a lot rarer. Nowadays, due to global warming, turbulence coming out of nowhere is more common, and on occasion results in unbelted passengers being thrown into the ceiling and severely injured.
Do you have a source for that? I’m skeptical.
Fair enough, seems to be a legitimate enough study.
You asked for something politely, someone gave it to you politely, and you politely conceded the argument.
What is this place?
Better to learn something new than to stay in a hole of ignorance because I can’t accept I’m wrong.
