Why are airplane passengers asked to move their seats to the upright position during take-off and landing?

There is an article regarding this subject in AirSpace Magazine. The basic reason is safety in case of a crash or other impact:

  1. Seat in the upright position is locked and doesn’t present an issue if there is an impact
  2. During the FAA research back in 1988 it was found that bracing in the upright position is safer then in reclined.
  3. Reclined seats make it more difficult to evacuate passengers from rows immediately following you.

So during the most dangerous times in flight (take-off and landing) it is required from you be a little safety minded.
