And in the rare horrific crash, the seat will not remain attached to the floor anyway.

In one accident the only one who survived was a girl who stayed strapped into her seat.

Some theorize that staying strapped in saved her life.

As many as 14 other passengers were later discovered to have survived the initial crash but died while waiting to be rescued.

Jesus, what shit luck for them...

Ehhh. Aircraft seat rails are pretty freaking durable and the way seats attach to them are generally extremely secure. I wouldnt be surprised if the floor ripped away before the seat.
