Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine passengers’ self-responsibility in flight safety from the point of seat belt use. There is the possibility that airplanes encounter turbulence during flight. The seat belt is only safety measure passengers can take to possibly save themselves from injury or death in turbulence. However, passengers do not necessarily understand the risks of not wearing a seat belt.
Popularization of information with regard to turbulence and turbulence accidents is imperative. The government, airline companies, mass media, tourism industry and consumer education cooperate and need to work on it.
