TikToker\u2019s turbulence Jell-O hack will help you feel safer flying TikTok: anna..paull \/ Unsplash: Andrew PalmerEver been on a plane where the turbulence has you fearing for your life? Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone. But now Influencer Anna Paul has shared a pilot\u2019s Jell-O tip to help conquer those pre-flight nerves. Fear of flying, or aviophobia, is an anxiety disorder that approximately 40 percent of people suffer from \u2014 despite the fact that commercial air travel is considered incredibly safe in the US. In fact, professor of atmospheric science Paul Williams said that only three percent of the atmosphere has light turbulence at flight cruising levels, and only one percent has moderate turbulence. Nonetheless, statistics tend not to mean much in the face of a phobia, and certainly not when your plane starts experiencing turbulence mid-flight. Luckily, influencer Anna Paul has a handy Jell-O trick she learned directly from a pilot that should put some anxious thoughts to rest. In the scenario that Anna presented, her little cup of red Jell-O represents \u201cthe air that you\u2019re flying in,\u201d with a small clump of napkin filling in as the plane. The napkin was subsequently stuffed into the middle of the Jell-O, as Anna Paul explained, \u201cThat is you flying through the sky. There\u2019s pressure from the bottom, pressure from the top, from the sides \u2014 pressure coming from everywhere.\u201d The influencer then goes on to showcase what happens when a plane encounters turbulence. Simulating the experience by gently hitting the top of the Jell-O, the red jelly begins to shake with the napkin inside bobbing about. \u201cYou feel the plane shaking, but [the plane] is not just going to fall down,\u201d Anna said. \u201cIt\u2019s stuck in there because there\u2019s pressure coming from the bottom and the sides\u2026 so you can just chill there, you\u2019re just wriggling in jelly.\u201d To be a little more specific for those still confused, The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has described turbulence as \u201cair movement created by atmospheric pressure, jet streams, air around mountains, cold or warm weather fronts, or thunderstorms. It can be unexpected and can happen when the sky appears to be clear.\u201d There has also never been a plane crash from turbulence, which should reassure some nervous flyers. A majority of injuries caused by turbulence come from not wearing a seatbelt. So, next time you\u2019re feeling anxious about getting on a plane, buckle up, do some breathing exercises, and think of yourself as sitting safely in a little cup of Jell-O.
