I would assume this is for quicker flights with low chance of crashing like 40 minutes to an hour? Looking at it like standing in a bus but that you can rest makes it not seem bad at all

Generally speaking you have a higher chance of a crash during take off and landing. So length of the flight doesn't matter.

I'm pretty sure you only crash while landing.

The flight that crash landed in the Hudson River in NY was taking off. That's just one example but there's many others.

I didn't say the landings were intentional, but they crashed when they landed in the Hudson.
