When I say "shit goes wrong" I'm not talking about a little tumble right after takeoff. Crashes from very low altitude pad the survivability rates, I'm sure, but that's not what I'm talking about. Also, that second article was really just polishing a turd: wear the right clothes and sit in the right seats and you, too, could survive a plane crash! Put your head right against the seat in front of you so when it comes loose it can break your neck! Be sure to huff the oxygen so you get nice and high so you ragdoll on impact (too bad you'll be disoriented if you do survive)!

I flew for the first time in a while recently and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the safety announcement. Flying is statistically the safest way to travel but when shit goes wrong you're pretty much dead. I understand why they have the farce at the beginning of every flight but people must know, deep down, that every time you fly you should be prepared to die.

Right, but they don't make that clear, nor do the articles.
