Curling up like a fetus may be the only reason a crew member of a plane crashed in Colombia survived.

The New York Post quoted Erwin Tumiri, a Bolivian flight technician, one of six people who survived the accident, which killed 71 people, while Tumiri was in preparation for the crash. many passengers on the 2933 flight stood up and screamed in panic as the plane flew from 3,350m high to the ground.

Replying to Fox Sports Argentina, Tumiri said: "I put a bag between my legs to create a fetal position recommended for use in accidents".

Erwin Tumiri, one of six people, survived the plane crash in Colombia.

According to Tumiri, about 76 people on a fateful flight do not use this escape technique, possibly because they do not know the benefits of this escape method or are too panicked.

Although surviving a plane crash is extremely rare, many airlines still encourage passengers to use their ready-to-bump posture to increase their chances of surviving, according to which, passengers set two legs. onto the floor of the plane, bending over, bowing downwards.

There are many theories that explain why this posture is encouraged, one of which says this is a way to protect the teeth of people on the plane. In this way, medical professionals then rely on dental data to confirm each person's identity.

The plane in distress with the Chapecoense Real Club (Brazil) is coming to the city of Medellin (Colombia) for the Copa Sudamericana final. Only six of the 77 people on the fateful flight survived, including three Chapecoense players, defender Alan Ruschel, defender Helio Zemper and goalkeeper Jakson Follman.
