I’d like to know the nature of these injuries. When flying one is always asked to wear one’s seat belt when seated? Somehow flying doesn’t have the charm it once held for me.

Which is unavoidable sometimes. When you gotta go, you gotta go. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try it during a critical phase of flight, though.
