I don't think there is a safe place to be sitting ON the plane. It's much safer if you're sitting IN the plane. There's a lot less WIND in there! Let Evel Knievel get ON the plane. /George Carlin

I like to have my feet planted on the ground thank you. Therefore I bring a pot of earth to have my feet in every time I fly.

Wouldnt the safest place to on the plane be right next to the parachutes?

Its a plane if it breaks down mid flight, like all engines fail theres not much point being concerned were you sit. Facts are your more likely to die on a road than in a plane.

Does this mean you pay more to be less safe? lol, safety or peanuts, that is the question...

Rather large bump there good fellow, be sure to check the date of the last post before you reply (don't worry, I made this mistake when I was new to once) Also, this thread has scared me senseless now, I'm not a huge fan of going on planes anyway

Why are people so afraid to travel with planes? It's more dangerous to go by car.

Why are people so afraid to travel with planes? It's more dangerous to go by car. I think that's because when a plane crashes, lots of people die and the media makes a fuss of it. But car crashes are way more frequent than plane crashes, and I believe that the total of deaths by car accidents is always greater than the total of those in plane accidents.

Always nice to know the suits will die first. I think that's because when a plane crashes, lots of people die and the media makes a fuss of it. But car crashes are way more frequent than plane crashes, and I believe that the total of deaths by car accidents is always greater than the total of those in plane accidents. Nothing to do with that. Crashing into another car/wall probably isn't as scary as falling tens of thousands of feet in midair.

I would sit next to the pilot. In case of an emergency I just pull the seat ejection like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2. Easy.

Why are people so afraid to travel with planes? It's more dangerous to go by car. Because the thought of plummeting 30 000 ft to the ground is pretty scary.

Because the thought of plummeting 30 000 ft to the ground is pretty scary. Are you implying it isn't as scary as going 160km/h into another car or a pole? Knowing that you are going to get crushed in any second, or get some piece of metal through your body? http://media.morristechnology.com/mediafilesvr/upload/covington_news/article/Truck-2_.jpg Though I guess this is subjective and I am derailing the thread. Move on.

Are you implying it isn't as scary as going 160km/h into another car or a pole? Knowing that you are going to get crushed in any second, or get some piece of metal through your body? No i'm just saying that people tend to be frightened more by heights. Sure you could worry about crashing but you don't really think about it as you drive. However when you're flying it's hard to forget that you're at such a height and should the slightest thing go wrong you are more likely to die than survive. In a car there is nothing standing out at you that is seemingly frightening. But this is coming from a frightened flyer. Anyway moving swiftly onward......

No to be a snob, but the safest place on a plane is in the First Class section because that's the important people section.

Your Chuck Norris? Maaaayyyyybe. Also planes are cool because they are planes and have wings that make them planes with wings and you can sit anywhere inside them because they are cool. [just to stay on topic ]

Another reason why planes are boss: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emCcbawLVx4 Did I ever mention I pretend to take flying lessons when I grow up?

I was always told that the safest part of the plane was right next to the wings.This is because unlike the rest of the plane, this portion is more enforced since it supports the wings. That, and the wings would absorb part of the impact. Pffft, and if anything, those first class guys are in the worst seats available if there was a mayday (except for the pilots), since, erm... don't planes always crash nose-first? http://www.friendsofyosar.org/rescues/missions/pictures/4_18_08_PlaneCrashPic1.JPG Oooh. http://markpknowles.com/wp-content/uploads/airbus-crash-6.jpg Ouch. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/aviation/45491d1299773361t-another-warbird-crash-070719123347_07-19-07-plane-crash.jpg Oh my. http://onionlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Plane-crashes1.jpg Uhh... see what I'm getting at? And notice how the wings remain mostly intact.

Move on. Very late to this argument, but I've been in a minor car crash and I've flown for a few years. Out of those two methods of transportation, people are more scared of flying because of the thought of an airplane losing control and plummeting to a horrible crash is worse than getting hit by another car. Cars give you options to stay alive: airbags, seat belts, and some have better frames than others. If a plane fails mid-flight, then there's nothing stopping it from crashing. Also, just knowing you're about to die while the plane descends is a traumatizing experience. We flew during a storm once, and the plane dropped for about 2 seconds; a lot of us freaked out and I nearly shat a brick.

I would want to be on top of the plane wearing a parachute. That way, if it starts to crash, I just jump off and open the chute.
