(Shhh. I never power off. I use airplane mode all the time. Don't tell anyone.)
Wouldn't that be difficult and time consuming to verify?
Planes during takeoff and landing are at sharp angles with extra G-forces. If your iPhone was in your hand during this time and you accidentally let go, maybe the phone would fly at someone else with enough force to hurt them.
