1. Sitting with your family
If you are traveling in a family group, you should be together with your family. Why? If you sit away from each other, it's only natural that you must want to join your family group when the accident happens. If you do that it’s going to cause more problems.
2. The seat belt
How do you undo your seat belt in your car? You press a button. In a plane, you lift a latch(插銷). If you can't undo your seat belt then, you -can't escape and you will lose chances of survival.

4. Put on a smoke hood（頭罩）
"Smoke contains toxic (有毒的) gases, narcotic(麻醉的) gases. It contains irritant (刺激的) gases. If you breathe enough of them you will die," explains Galea. He carries a smoke hood but warns that you must follow his example and learn how to use it. Otherwise you'll waste time trying to put it on time that could be used for making an exit.
5. Listen to the flight attendants
Listen to the flight attendants carefully and read the safety card after you get on the plane. Be prepared. And if you're about to crash, do 1ike this -- head down, ankles behind knees.
The brace position is one of the most important things that a passenger should take on board when they fly. It’s designed to reduce your chances of being knocked during a heavy crash.
