Do you keep your seatbelt on when the seatbelt light is off on a plane...

I also do not think the airline is liable, but it would be nice if they helped her out with her medical bills. That would be the honorable thing to do. I'm not saying give her millions and millions like often happens during law suits, but just enough to pay for in-home medical care.

Regarding the main question: Yes, I always keep my seatbelt on. I hate getting up to go to the restroom when the plane is in flight, so I will hold it until I can't any longer.

If they are not liable, why should they pay her? I don't think it's the honorable thing to do. It's stupid to do so. Airlines are not a charity, they are a business and it would be setting a precedence for the next person who decides to get up when the seatbelt light is on, possibly injuring himself!

Yes, you're right. (I didn't expect anyone to agree with me. . .I just pity that woman.) Oh well. . .hopefully she has excellent medical insurance.

belted at all times, and i actually lightly hold on to the seats when walking down too, just in case.
i mean, when sitting, whats the point of taking it off?
