Which type of passenger is exempt from wearing a seatbelt?

The exemption from wearing a seatbelt typically applies to individuals engaged in certain activities where standard safety regulations may not apply, one of which is skydiving. Skydivers are often in a unique situation where they are preparing for an activity that involves jumping out of an aircraft. During the actual jump, the primary concern is safely leaving the aircraft and the subsequent free fall, rather than remaining secured by a seatbelt during flight.

While regulations may vary by jurisdiction and specific circumstances, passengers like skydivers are often exempt from the requirement to wear seatbelts during the preparatory phase of their jump due to the nature of their activity. Other categories of passengers, like business travelers, single pilots, or elderly passengers, do not typically fall under such exemptions and are usually required to wear seatbelts for their safety during flight.
