How to choose the safest seat on the plane, train and bus Bashny.Net

 





Scientists from around the world have long collected statistics on survivors of a plane crash to understand what places on Board the aircraft are the safest. Unfortunately, until now, by far this is not defined, but some advice to give is still possible.

Choosing seats in the train, plane or bus, many of us are guided by its comfort, but almost no security."Put me at the window, please", "can the first car to get to the station," how often do we hear something similar at the box office and check-in counters.

For those who chance to survive in the most terrible accident is more important than amenities in the trip, statistics: what places should choose different types of transport to be saved.

In the bus

One of the most popular modes of transport is bus. They will be anywhere, not tied to a rigid schedule, and are often almost the same as the buses, trolleybuses and trams. At the same time the car "the Gazelle" is considered one of the most dangerous forms of public transport.

It is best to choose in the bus the seat backs while moving. So you may be seasick, but the chance to get out alive and healthy from the accident will be much higher. The reason – under heavy braking all the passengers fly forward from their chairs, and you will only press to the back.

In addition, and "gazelles," these places are always located directly behind the driver, and he instinctively research shows that will save his life and remove the wheel so that his side of the car suffered as little as possible.

Also not too dangerous are places in the middle of the salon away from the Windows. But next to the driver and in the back row, you are more likely to die in a frontal collision or if someone will fit in at full speed into the back of the bus.

In the bus

Intercity bus transport itself is pretty unsafe, especially in winter, when ice on the tracks, and around the road – meter drifts. And yet even it is possible to choose more or less safe place.

First, never sit on the first and last three rows – in the event of a collision you could easily throw through the windshield or literally flattening the back. Second, no matter how tempting, do not buy seats at the Windows – shattered glass during an accident can damage your face and hands, if not to cut an artery.

It is best to sit in the middle of the cabin on the right lane on a course of movement because it is the farthest from oncoming traffic, and, therefore, from the potential drunk driver who lost control. And of course in the passage – so you and the scene of the accident will leave faster, and the pieces do not suffer.





On the plane

Most plane crashes occur during takeoff and landing, and a large proportion of those killed in such crashes suffocate with carbon monoxide in a fire on Board. Therefore, in this situation your life depends on if you have time to get out of the cabin before we stop breathing.

According to the results of research commissioned by the civil aviation authority of UK, are more likely to get to those who sat on one of the five rows of seats near the emergency exit.

Fundamental difference to sit by the window or aisle seat is not – in the second case, survival of 65 percent of the passengers in the first 58. So, of course, it is better to choose an aisle seat, but worry particularly if you went to the window, not worth it – better to enjoy the beautiful view from the window.

But the question of what part of the liner to choose the place the specialists still have differences. According to British scientists, the more secure the front part of the aircraft: its passengers survived in 65 percent of cases.

The figure for "tail", or 53 percent. But according to statistics from the National Council for transport safety USA, quite the contrary, in the tail section of the cabin – 69 percent of survivors, over the wing is 56 percent, and in the front section of the cabin, where usually razmeschaetsya class when the accident survive, only 49 per cent.

In large aircraft over the wing are usually two exit, so the chance to "fit in the door" you have more than the front and rear parts of the aircraft. On the other hand, it is on the wing or close to it, usually is aviation fuel, which in the case of the crash it may catch fire.

In the train

The choice of a safe place statistics of railway accidents we will not help much, then mudslides, then the collision at the railway crossings, the rails are twisted due to the poor condition of the track – how many reasons, so many options to die in a variety of cars.

Still, some General rules can be formulated. Is possible to avoid the first and last cars closer to the center of the composition, the better. The coupe is also optimal to choose fifth or sixth, again from those reasons that the middle is safer.

Shelf in the direction of motion is always safer opposite — if the train will slow down dramatically, you will not sink, but simply pressed against the wall, and the neighbor on the opposite shelf are almost certainly going to fall.
