Not sure if this is dumber than eating Tide Pods, but it’s close . . .
The latest TikTok trend has people on airplanes wearing their seatbelts around their ANKLES?!?!?!?!
It’s supposed to be a comfort thing. You pull your knees into your chest and put your feet on the seat. Then you strap your seatbelt around your ankles to make sure they don’t slide off. (Video Below)
They claim it’s comfortable, and a good way to change positions on a long flight.
However, anyone who’s anyone know that seatbelts don’t work like that. If you hit some rough air, your head is in the ceiling. A flight attendant commented on one video and said planes hit major turbulence more often than you think.
To me it feels comparable to people who put their feet up on the dash of the car. That’s not what it’s for, and in the event of an accident, you’re likely to get yourself killed.
