It is important to follow the fasten seat belt sign during a flight.

When the fasten seat belt sign is on,it's on for a reason.The pilots leave the fasten seat belt sign on if there's too much turbulence, they always alert the passengers when they do turn on the fasten seat belt sign.The intercom message from the pilot might disturb a movie you might be watching,but the seat belt has saved many lives.

During turbulence the plane could lose a lot of altitude and may cause the plane to nose dive and the turbulence can be very powerful that it can violently shake the plane,the seat belt keeps the passenger in their seat.Think of it like when you drive,sometimes you break really hard and the seat belt stops you from hitting your head on the dashboard.

In case of an explosive decompression causing a part of plane to come off,the seat belt keeps you from flying out of the plane.This is an unlikely situation and i don't want to scare you off from flying,but it is definitely a recommendation to keep the seat belt on.

During landing,taxiing and taking off,you must keep the seat belt on. With taking off,the plane could overrun the runway and the landing could be rough and might be bumpy or the plane could overshoot the runway, thus the seat belt keeps you in place.Taxiing is where usually people decide to get up and get their bags,if a flight attendant yells at you to sit,it is normal to get a reaction like that.

When a plane taxis,there are many things going on the ramp,ramp crew is driving,other planes are taxiing and if someone on the ramp accidentally cuts in front of a plane,the pilot will break extremely hard to avoid collision and the person getting their bag will end up on the floor.

I hope this helps you understand why we need to have our seat belts fastened during a flight.

I also have a recommendation, if you decide to sleep during a flight, you will not be able to follow the seat belt signs.It would be wise to keep the seat belt on, while you sleep.

Happy Travelling!
