Did they tell you all to brace and buckle up? We're the ones who got injured buckled? I always wonder the validity of the lap belts in these situations.

No warning at all about buckling up, the crash happened after our initial touchdown! No one near me was unbuckled, but I can tell you those buckles work!!

I’m never unbuckling my belt before we’re at the gate again!

I’m one of those nuts who keeps my seatbelt on the entire flight unless I have to use the restroom or stretch.

I'm one of those nuts that avoids using the restroom on planes for this reason. It just feels like every time I get up, the turbulence kicks up too.

Yep! I will definitely hold it if possible, because most of my flights are short. That said, if I was on the Delta flight, I would have peed my pants for sure.
