Think of Airplane Turbulence as Sea Waves: Stay Calm & Safe

# Tips for Calm and Safe Flying

## Rethink Air Turbulence
- Imagine airplane shakes as waves in the sea, just like on a boat. This perspective helps reduce fear of turbulence.
- During turbulence, look at the flight attendants. If they look bored or calm, you’re likely safe.

## Perspective & Comfort
- "Flying is safer than driving in a car" — but remember, when a car malfunctions, it doesn't fall from the sky.
- If turbulence worries you, staying buckled up minimizes injury from sudden drops.
- Recognize that the real concern isn’t turbulence itself, but the fear of potential danger.

## Additional Insights
- Airplanes undergo stress testing beyond normal conditions, making them extremely resilient.
- You are more likely to be struck by lightning twice than be involved in a plane crash; survival odds are over 95%.
- For peace of mind, some suggest accepting the uncertainty and focusing on what you can control—like wearing your seatbelt and staying seated.

## Funny & Practical Tips
- Look for bored flight attendants—it's a sign everything's normal.
- Having a parachute as a carry-on might be unusual, but it highlights how controlled or unpredictable certain fears are.
- Some find comfort by comparing their flight experience to being on a boat or a wave.

_Remember: Staying calm, buckled, and observing the crew can make your flight experience safer and more relaxing._
