Safety Seat For Adults

Where is the safest place to sit in a car? And where is the safest seat on a plane?

According to an article I read in the December issue of Men's Health, the safest seat in a car was the one I thought was the most dangerous: the middle seat in the rear. Men's Health experts said it "was the seat furthest away from the 'crush zone', the area where an automobile could crumple in a collision." The only issue is that only 46% of passengers in that particular seat fasten their safety belt, keeping it risky, but still the "least" dangerous of the five available.

On a plane? They're all "bad if the plane's going down."

(Thanks for reassuring air travel safety, Men's Health.)

They did suggest keeping yourself as sanitary as possible on the plane by washing hands often, avoid sitting near those who appear and sound sick, and using sanitary sheets from planesheets, a company who makes disposable and washable planesheets that fit over your planeseat. (I don't know abou'chu, but the thought of putting my head on that headrest makes me airsick.)
