Air travel is one of the safest types of travel, which is becoming so thanks to new technologies. Despite the fact that the chance of a plane crash is 1 in 5,4 million, and driving a car is 100 times more dangerous, many travelers are very worried and afraid of flying.

Therefore, many people want to know which places in the cabin are the safest, increasing the passenger's chances of survival in the event of a crash.

Edition Time analyzed data about the crashes, after which some of the passengers died, while others survived to find out where the survivors sat most often.

It turned out that passengers who pay extra for a business class and a seat in the head of the plane receive additional control, but not safety at all. And the safest were not very popular places in the middle of a row in the tail of the aircraft.

Seats in the rear third of the plane have a passenger fatality rate in the event of an accident of 32%. The middle of the plane is 39%, the front is 38%.

Moreover, each place in the row also has its own indicators. The most unsafe seats were near the aisle in the middle of the cabin - 44% of fatalities during an accident. Middle-row seats in the rear cabin have the lowest fatality rate at 28%.

It is worth remembering that, in fact, there is no universally safe place on an airplane. If a crash does occur, despite the very low probability of it happening, the safe location will depend on the circumstances of the accident—how and where the plane crashes.

In addition, the surviving passengers in a crash often sit in different parts of the aircraft, which proves that a safe place always depends on the circumstances.
