You can drive home buzzed while not wearing your seatbelt and make it home without getting into an accident. But was that safe? This is precisely why safety is not outcome based. Just because you made it home doesn’t mean the journey was safe.
I’m surprised not all airlines have dispelled this myth in their safety courses. Who do you work for?
