> The advice to wear your seat belt throughout the flight are hardly clear and emphatic. They often make it sound like something they have to say to cover their asses. There's certainly no clear comms around the risk of death and serious injury.

I can't remember the last time I was on a plane where they didn't recommend keeping a seatbelt on at all times.

Here is the BA brief saying to do just that time 1:55: https://youtu.be/gBGbDQbwzWU?si=5KS4LTEcDmtQKJH_

Here is the United one where they mention it at 0:30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LSKVAH4WA

I can't imagine anything more clear than starting the seatbelt briefing: "It is important to have your safety belt on at all times"

They end it with: "In case of unexpected turbulence keep your seatbelt fastened, even when the seatbelt sign is off."

Its literally the first and last things that United tells you about your seatbelt.
