Singapore Airlines: More than twenty treated for spinal injuries after turbulence flight

Didn't the guy who almost got ejected out of the 737 door plug fiasco attribute his survival to keeping his belt on? I mean that's enough reason for me by itself.

All the stories about people not knowing you should keep your seatbelt on at all times really demonstrates the failure of all the safety videos

I just learned that even my own partner didn't know that you're supposed to keep your seatbelt on even when the fasten seatbelts sign is off. The sign being turned off doesn't mean you can unfasten your seatbelt while seated. It means you may remove your seatbelt to get up and move about the cabin, such as to use the restroom or get something from an overhead bin. You are then meant to return to your seat and refasten your seatbelt.

Just sharing because if he didn't know that, I'm sure plenty of other people don't. Hopefully after this little disaster, airlines will start to make that clearer again.

Again, wear your seatbelts.

Edit: If you don't like to wear the seatbelt because it feels too tight even at its loosest, you can ask a flight attendant for a seatbelt extender.
