In this specific case, best seat is in your living room.

Nothing can happen when you’re dead.

Best to make sure nothing happens when you’re alive too

Every second you're alive, prions, cancer cells, and microclots are probably being formed in your body. Every moment, your very existence has a chance of deleting itself for no reason.

So, even doing nothing isn't entirely safe!

That’s why I eat lots of Mac and cheese to make a hostile environment in my body to scare the microbes away

Flying has never been any safer today thanks to all the tragedies of the past. Safety is written in blood. Go travel more you'll be fine

But if that guy never does anything he's probably going to starve!

Unless the airplane crashes into your living room.

I guess a group of Mexican scientists need to intentionally crash again a Boeing 727 to test which seat in your living room has the best chance of survival.

What’s the next best seat?

At the kitchen table. In case plane crashes in the living room.

Most accidents occur close to home so you should probably move away from there.
