Brace Position Myth
The safety brace position, or pulling your body forward and covering your head in the event of a crash, can seem to some passengers as a useless tactic if there were actually a crash. In reality, extensive research and an episode of MythBusters has proven that safety brace position is scientifically proven to transfer the force of impact from your body to the chair in front of you, while also doing the job of protecting your vital organs.

Overweight Luggage
Overweight baggage fees are the bane of anyone’s traveling experience, but do they actually help with the safety of a plane? Planes can weigh around 175,000 pounds, so what’s a few extra pounds in souvenirs from a trip? The truth is crew members are worried abut the distribution of the weight in the airplane. Weight distribution is so important that employees will place sandbags weighing up to 600 pounds in cargo to ensure plane’s weight is balanced. It looks like safety is a lot more than weight!
