Why Flight Attendants Follow Takeoff/Landing Safety Protocols

When planes take off and land, flight attendants do something special to stay safe.

They sit with their feet on the floor, their heads against the seat, and their hands on their laps or under their thighs.

This is like when you brace yourself.

It helps them stay in a good position in case something unexpected happens, like the plane hitting bumps.

They do this to stay steady and help keep everyone safe during these important parts of the flight.
