Further, this flight attendant explained that the aim of this firm posture is to reduce potential injuries of the body in case of unexpected emergency.
“This keeps body movement restricted so that there is less chance of injury if there was an impact.
“During this time, [your flight attendants] will also be going through the ‘silent review,’ which prepares them for an emergency situation every take-off and landing.”
“This includes being aware of emergency equipment in the location, door operation, commands given & any visual clues outside of the aircraft,” she said and wished everyone a safe flight.
According to a memo from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the bracing position serves two purposes, reducing flailing and reducing secondary impact.
