When a flight attendant asks you to return your seat upright, it is important to comply immediately. The main reason is to protect the safety and comfort of everyone, especially the person behind you. During a rough landing, a reclined seat can be dangerous, possibly causing injury to the passenger behind. Sometimes, attendants must enforce these rules to keep everyone safe. In rare cases, some airlines even provide attendants with tasers as a last resort to maintain order. This shows how seriously airlines take cabin safety and the need for cooperation during key moments of flight.
