If you follow avherald.com for any length of time, you’ll learn that 1) the vast majority of aviation incidents are completely benign, and 2) the vast majority of injuries aboard airliners are caused by passengers not wearing their seatbelts. The seatbelts aren’t there for the once-a-decade crash; they’re there for the once-a-month strong turbulence event, which the airplane itself will barely even notice.
Ehhh. Aircraft seat rails are pretty freaking durable and the way seats attach to them are generally extremely secure. I wouldnt be surprised if the floor ripped away before the seat.

And in the rare horrific crash, the seat will not remain attached to the floor anyway.

In one accident the only one who survived was a girl who stayed strapped into her seat.

Some theorize that staying strapped in saved her life.
Jesus, what shit luck for them…
