I always wear my seatbelt when sitting. I also try not to be seated close to the engines since I'm familiar with the damage that an exploding engine can do. What got my attention from these photos is that at flight speed, the shrapnel from an exploding engine is more likely to do damage far back from the point of the explosion. I hadn't considered that before.

After that there are also specific cases where sitting in the middle you are for example more likely to be injured by trolleys or falling luggage. Also sitting close to a door can be important in case a quick exit is needed.
