NG Traveler: How to avoid dying in an airline

I still get National Geographic's Adventure Magazine for free. Of course, the obvious way to avoid dying on an airplane is to just not get on one. But if you must, click the link below and read this Blog's recommendations. The one's that I like are as follows:

• Get out of the plane immediately if it crashes. Don't wait in line.
• Dress for a fire. Don't wear sandals or open-toed shoes. Don't wear synthetic materials. (I add: Don't wear high-heeled shoes)
• If you're concerned get the "Evac-U8 Smoke Hood from DuPont" (not sure if this will get through security)
• Count the rows from your seat to the nearest exit.
• Seat belts are good. Turbulence can hit anytime. He reports a 747 flight that hit turbulence and there were footprints on the ceiling.
• Choose your airline carefully. Consider avoiding those on the European Union's "black list" that can be found at the following site: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm
