One of the most important aspects of flying is something that often gets ignored — the safety demonstration. Whether it’s flight attendants demonstrating it live in the aisle, or a video playing in front of you, this is usually the moment earbuds go in and flyers tune out.
But airlines have begun employing a secret weapon — safety demonstration videos that are not only informative, but also highly entertaining — using musical performances, high-art animation, and humor to subliminally impart the info to you.
As we’ve seen from incidents like the 2013 Asiana crash in San Francisco and the 2009 water landing of a U.S. Airways plane, surviving an accident is not out of the question, thanks to knowledgeable flight crews and pre-flight safety tips. But if you still need some convincing on why you should pay attention, here are a few reasons.
