According to Forbes report, whenever we book plane seats, we just consider how convenient it will be for us to get off or board the plane. We don’t think about which seat is safe. It has been claimed in many researches that some seats of the plane are safer than others, sitting there can even save life during a plane accident. When America’s National Transportation Safety Board investigated 20 plane accidents since 1971, they found that people sitting in the back seats of the plane had a 69 percent chance of survival.

Which seat is safe
The chances of survival of those sitting in the seats located at the front of the plane were only 49 percent. Those who were sitting near the wing, their chances of survival were 59 percent. America’s Federal Aviation Administration did research on plane accidents from 1985 to 2000, researching the survivors and those who lost their lives. He found that the rear part of the plane is safer. There are more chances of survival by sitting there. Sitting in the middle is also very beneficial. Those who were sitting in the middle seats at the back of the plane had a 28 percent mortality rate.
Life depends on how big the accident is.
The least safe cabin was the oil seat from the first to third row, which had a fatality rate of 44 percent. According to CNN, middle seats are safer because they are surrounded by people on both sides, due to which the chances of injury are reduced. Now you must have understood that it is safer to sit in the middle seats at the back of the plane. But it also matters how big the plane accident is and which part of it has suffered the most damage. According to CNN, if the plane hits the mountains or the tip directly enters the sea, then the chances of survival are further reduced. Apart from this, you should follow some rules to stay safe on the plane.
