Which statement best describes the purpose of safety straps on cabin doors?

• A. Visual warning only
• B. Prevents falls only when stairs are missing
• C. Both a visual warning and preventing falls when no bridge or stairs are in place
• D. Used to secure the door in flight

Answer: (A)

Safety straps on cabin doors are meant to act as a visual cue that marks the doorway area and reminds people to stay clear of the door opening. They help prevent accidental contact with the door, especially when the door is open or when stairs/bridges aren’t in place. They do not provide a physical fall protection or secure the door in flight—that role belongs to the door hardware and evacuation/arming procedures. So the best description is that these straps serve as a visual warning only.
