Airplane seatbelts - Lemmy.World

Via Extra Fabulous Comics [https://extrafabulouscomics.com]

Crash survival statistics are actually quite surprising. Like, you have higher survivability odds in the back of the plane – cause everyone in front of you is your crumple zone.

Jump seat behind pilot for helicopters, I assume due to the supporting framework from the engines and not in blade range.

Middle of planes over the wing root - easy access to exits, crumple zone infront, not going with the tail if it hits, and strongest part of aircraft. Also right over a fuel tanks, so results vary.
