Do you trust your airline pilots?

Well, er, yes.

That said, I do follow safety instructions on planes. Mainly because if you don't, you get thrown off and waste the money you spent on the ticket.

As far as trusting the pilot and crew though, the pilot maybe but I've met a load of cabin crew and I'd trust most of them as far as I could throw them. They let any idiot be a trolley dolly and I'm sure most of the safety procedures are designed to keep them calm rather than the passengers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They don't in the UK so it can't be that important. Maybe they don't want people to get scared by how much the wings of the plane flex during takeoff?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
