LONDON (AP) — Each day, 8.3 million people around the globe step aboard some 93,500 flights. They almost always land safely.

But in the rare chance of a crash, there are some things passengers can do to improve their odds of surviving. British Airways offers frequent fliers a half-day safety awareness
course. Among the tips offered there:

— During the safety demonstration, count the number of rows to the nearest exit. Then count the number of rows to the second nearest exit, remembering that it might be behind you.

— Next, practice putting on and taking off your seatbelt to build muscle memory. Check where your life vest is and touch it.

— Learn the proper brace position: Bend forward as far as possible, keep your head down. Place your feet flat on the floor and slide them back. Your dominant hand goes on the back of your head. Protect that hand by placing the other hand over it. Do not interlock fingers. The goal is to ensure that the bones in the stronger hand aren't broken so you can eventually unbuckle the seatbelt.

—Red lights always signal an exit because the color cuts through smoke the best.

— Once an evacuation order is given, seconds count. Move quickly to the nearest exit and jump down a slide. If you hesitate, the flight attendants will push you out.

— Always inflate life vests outside the plane. They can limit mobility in a tight space. Or, if water fills the cabin, passengers with inflated vests can be pressed up against the ceiling, unable to swim down to the door.

Extom:
Ask those "pilots" in the village!!!

Toks2008:

Exactly.

Each time i board a plane and the pilot says things like we are 45000ft above sea level,ijust say to myself. LOBATAN! GOD my life is in your hands.

Its so funny that the safety provided is geared towards sea crash and i kp eondering why they cant provide parachutes.

Extom: The only way to survive plane crash; Don't Board!!!

Sile12:
Using parachute is not what you can learn in a day.Even if u chute out, do you know where you gonna land
Desert, Island, ocean, that are thousands of miles to the nearest civilisation...

TOPCRUISE: you might even land in a zoo or in the midst of boko haram

Stelvin101:


So if US govt decides to offer you a job and need you to be there b4 5 day's time how do you go over there??

SMALLPENIS:

not all planes can have have their exits opened midway in the air,if that happens the plane will crash/crash faster. Why do you think plane windows were designed not to unwind?

Toks2008:

At least we can wear the parachute and if the plane decends to a certain level people can start jumping out.

Which one be crash faster? A plane wey wan crash go crash.

Val22: Seeing this topic, I thought of using a parachute to escape from the crashing plane.
But, where are u gonna land? inside ocean or forest full of wild animals?
