Many passengers think that if the plane crashes or is exposed to severe aviation accidents, no one will survive death. What is required is to use the oxygen mask or exit the emergency doors.
The most dangerous flight times are takeoff and landing, so minutes of safety instructions are not just a routine procedure or an entertainment. In the event of an accident, the crew has only 90 seconds to evacuate the passengers. Failure to follow the instructions properly puts your life and the lives of others at risk. Every second is worth the time and there is no room to explain the instructions and explain them to the passengers again.
Oxygen mask
Each time the crew explains how oxygen masks are used, most passengers fail to use them optimally.
The oxygen mask hangs over your seat if the air pressure suddenly drops in the cabin of the plane, because the air becomes less dense, and then the oxygen rate decreases. The mask's role is to get enough oxygen through your nose and mouth, but most of the passengers put the mask on the mouth only, Which means their lives are at risk of being unable to breathe and lose consciousness, according to Lonely Planet.
Mothers think that fixing the oxygen mask properly for the mother first and then for the children is cruel and unreal. Most mothers see that the children are saving. But if parents hold the mask for the children first, they will lose consciousness and endanger their lives. Install your child's mask, because you can help your child while he can not help you.
A video of a Southwest Airlines passenger on Flight 1380 spread in April 2018, during a forced landing after two explosions were heard in the plane. The video, which was broadcast live via Facebook, showed that the majority of passengers do not put the oxygen mask properly in an emergency.
Open your window
The crew tells you to pull the windows up while the plane is taking off or landing, to enjoy viewing the city from above. But in fact, the purpose of watching the takeoff and landing moments is to follow anything abnormal in the aircraft engines. If you see any interruption or danger to the flight, do not hesitate to inform the crew of the hosts. The hosts may not tell you this secret to avoid stirring up your anger. You know that even if the sun shines a bit, you may save everyone's lives if the plane crashes.
Adjust your seat
The seats are usually uncomfortable, so the first thing to do is move the seat to lean. Be aware that sitting at an angle with the seat belt is the most protective position for you, and in case of evacuation the plane becomes easier and faster.
Unload luggage
It seems self-evident that in emergency situations you must survive on your own.
The following video monitors the evacuation of the passengers of a US airliner, after the burning of an engine over the Chicago runway. In that incident, some passengers insisted on unloading their luggage from the cabin, disrupting the rescue and evacuating the passengers.
Use the toilet
It is strictly forbidden to use passengers for a toilet during take-off or landing. The pilot is entitled to ask the passenger to leave immediately if he insists on using the toilet while taking off. The latch of the toilet doors is automatically opened during take-off and landing.
The purpose of this rule is that the passenger may hang inside the toilet in an emergency and can not be saved.
"If you leave a free flight behind the safety instructions in front of each passenger's seat, no one will notice," says Clyde Romero, a pilot at American Airlines. Some people think that in an emergency, the crew will return instructions, which in no case is dangerous.
The passenger's lack of attention to safety instructions has prompted flight attendants to devise interesting ways to draw attention to them during instruction.
