This is why you’re supposed to keep your seatbelt on unless you are getting up. Yes, even when the seatbelt sign is off. The seatbelt sign being off means it is safe to walk around the cabin; it doesn’t mean that you can keep your seatbelt off while seated.
Thank you!
Low and tight around your hips.
And for the love of the gods down pass your lap child around your family during landing or bounce them near the overhead bins.

Sounds like we should change the symbol from a seatbelt to something else if it causes confusion like that.
I vote for traffic light symbols
