If you follow avherald.com for any length of time, you'll learn that 1) the vast majority of aviation incidents are completely benign, and 2) the vast majority of injuries aboard airliners are caused by passengers not wearing their seatbelts. The seatbelts aren't there for the once-a-decade crash; they're there for the once-a-month strong turbulence event, which the airplane itself will barely even notice.

And in the rare horrific crash, the seat will not remain attached to the floor anyway.

In one accident the only one who survived was a girl who stayed strapped into her seat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliane_KoepckeSome theorize that staying strapped in saved her life.

As many as 14 other passengers were later discovered to have survived the initial crash but died while waiting to be rescued.
Jesus, what shit luck for them...
