A second wrote: I ALWAYS recline….. carefully and slowly.

While a third commented: Daggg bad hit.

Another added: Honestly, I think you incur the risk here, not Delta.

Someone else said: Rapid “crash mode” seat recliners are THE worst people.

Reclining seats are the worst. Lots of other airlines don’t allow it… Another user added.
