Why don’t many airplanes have the row 13?

No row 13

As you can see on the picture, in many airplanes there is no row 13, it goes from 12 to 14. There’s not much information about how it all started, but apparently it’s because of superstition, a dumb superstition. I’d loved to be there the first time someone refuse to sit on the row 13 because of bad luck, that person is responsible for even nowadays rows jumping from 12 to 14, he must be proud.

I guess if something goes wrong in an airplane, being in any other row besides 13 wont save your ass.Or perhaps it is more susceptible to small accidents like getting vomited or having hot coffee spilled over you, but is this sufficient to eliminate the damn row?
