The take off and landing portions of your flight are the most dangerous.
You don't read or play with toys, so you can be made aware of any situation that may develop.
I've flown a lot, and it's far better to have your gear stowed and be flicking through the flight magazine, paying half attention to the announcements than working out who the heck committed the murder in this last, gripping episode of Mr. Bob and the Bobbites while the flight spirals down to the ground and you sit there, fiddling, and not caring.
