Comment on Safest Seat on a Planeparent

Comments

All true, but I can't say taking a couple of minutes to read this article, then using the information in the future is "completely wasting" time.

But how would you use this information? There are other consideration besides safety when choosing a seat (e.g., proximity to a lavatory, first/business class amenities, legroom, etc).

When you bring "chances of survival in a plane crash" into this equation without considering just how astronomically low your odds of an accident are, it's time wasted. IMHO in any reasonable, objective selection mental heuristic the size of this factor is so tiny as to be easily discounted.
