Perils of not wearing seat belt
The flight that many passengers said was pure hell last December also had many aboard who did not fasten their seatbelts when warned to do so at least twice by the captain. The Transportation Safety Board released a video and other material Monday in which it warned air travelers of the importance of wearing seat belts as directed by cabinet crew. The December 2015 flight from Shanghai to Toronto put down at Calgary after 21 people were injured, one seriously. “Most of the passengers who were physically injured were aware that they were required to wear their seatbelts, but chose not to,” the TSB said. “The injuries resulted from passengers coming into contact with aircraft furnishings, the ceiling, and the floor of the interior.”
