A reminder to the rest of us to keep our seat belts fastened at all times when seated and not just when the seat belt sign is illuminated.

Always amazes me how many passengers think they are immune, even when the seatbelt sign IS on....

The problem is not so much that they smash themselves against the ceiling. They could drop back on top of someone who was being careful and following the rules..
