I guess, wear your seat belt.

  Yup, this. If you're belted in, the entire chair would have to detach. Something that doesn't typically happen in a depressurization event, no matter what Hollywood would have you believe.

  If you're sitting in a window seat it's entirely possible to be sucked into the window enough where you'd be dead even with your seatbelt on. I'd imagine most adults would get stuck at the shoulders, which would only take about 1ft of wiggle room. Also, she may have received fatal head trauma from the engine cowling entering the plane. So, I think it's premature to say that she would have lived even if she was wearing her seatbelt(was she?). But generally I agree it is a good idea to strap in

    I have to stoop over so low to see out windows, I doubt that more than my arm and shoulder would make it through. Of course my head hitting the wall could kill me too...
