The Federal Aviation Administration says there is no safest seat on the plane, though a TIME study of plane accidents found that the middle seats in the back of the plane had the lowest fatality rate in a crash. The research revealed that, during plane crashes, “the seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate, compared with 39% in the middle third and 38% in the front third.”
However, there are so many variables at play that it’s impossible to know where to sit to survive a crash. Plus, plane crashes are incredibly rare.
