We all dread being in a scary and dangerous situation. Recently with the plane crash in Greece, and the crash landing of another airline at LAX airport, there is a lot of talk about plane safety and safety training for pilots, stewardesses and passengers. Luckily, no one was hurt in the latter of the two incidents. However, everyone on the first crash was killed. There are certain safety procedures to follow before, during and after a crash landing, and personnel have to go through rigorous safety training to not just guide you through, but keep you calm, all while dealing with the fact that they might perish. The safety training is the easiest part. Facing the fact that it may be your last flight is just a little more scary. Safety Training Procedures: In the event of a crash landing, there are certain procedures you must follow. These safety measures are designed to keep you from getting hurt -- hopefully -- in such an event. Here's are those procedures: Before descent: Return tables and trays to their upright and locked positions. Clear trash from your area and unblock aisles and emergency exits Take off all sharp objects Fasten Seat belt During descent: Put head between knees Hold on tight Make sure seat belt is fastened Do not lift head After landing: Remain with head between knees until otherwise instructed Remain seated with seat belt secured File out of airplane quickly one by one; do not push If using chute, cross hands over chest and jump; slide down to safety Quickly move away from airplane Many people have had the experience of a crash landing. It is both terrifying and exciting. But the pilot and staff have adequate safety training and know what they are doing. You are in good hands. Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:35:49 EDT
