What is the maximum number of seat belt extensions offered to obese passengers?

• A. 2 extensions
• B. Unlimited
• C. None
• D. 1 extension

Answer: (D)

The system is designed so a passenger can use a single seat belt extension to secure the belt safely. This keeps the belt within its tested geometry and maintains the integrity of the restraint. If one extension still isn’t enough, crew follow procedures such as assisting with seating or relocation rather than providing more than one extension. That’s why the maximum offered is one extension. Unlimited extensions could compromise belt performance, while zero or two extensions aren’t aligned with standard safety practices.
