Broken seat belt
Behave. Really? What if it had broken two minutes before you spotted it? How could they foreseen or prevented it? Would you have been happy if the flight had been grounded or diverted in order to sort it?! It'll have been replaced or repaired already.
Whatever you think of Ryanair/O'leary they are bound by the CAA and do things properly.

The frayed and incorrectly fitted belt appeared to have been that way for a while. If it had been a car, it would have failed it's MOT. It'll have been replaced or repaired already.

They're Irish registered so are bound by the CAA no more than any other foreign operator that flies into the UK.
IAA/EASA 145 etc etc. Some of their maintenance is done with the UK. You know what I meant though - they're bound by maintenance schedules, methods of operation etc. They don't simply make it up as they go along or do whatever they like. LuS1fer said:
I really really hate to break it to you (and this is going to come as a real shock) but seat belts on a plane are a little placebo.
If you think they'll save you, in a crash, you're insane.
I mean, look at, it's a sodding lap belt, like they banned in cars in the 70s...

Thinking more on what the OP said, do Aircraft get an impartial Air MOT type test regularly, ie by an independent air garage or body , or do the airlines do and certify themselves ?

It's one of a series of incremental gains.
Remember Asians in San Francisco? It's impossible to be sure, but there's evidence to suggest that the two (?) young girls who were thrown free - and subsequently run over and killed by the fire trucks - weren't wearing them. They were the only two fatalities.
Have you ever experienced severe turbulence? I have, twice, and my seatbelt kept me in my seat. One of the crew down the back hit the ceiling and broke her leg on the fall back down. It isn't about what happens almost every day on almost all flights; it's about what could happen once. The equipment, rules and regulations are designed to mitigate the extraordinary not the ordinary. Almost all people will probably never experience severe turbulence, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to lessen its effects.

Sadly this. I thought what on earth can this stupid little belt do? Then I was in severe turbulence flying back from the Middle East a long while ago, the drop quite suddenly and shake a little bit whilst lightning streaking across the sky kind. That went on for an hour and I vowed to never, every fly again. Anyway, the first drop the chap next to me didn't have his seatbelt on and whacked his head on the overhead bin. He was concussed and blooded.It's one of a series of incremental gains.
