| How many lives have life-jackets on planes saved??? | | i have just got off a flight from udaipur to port blair.considering this flight is mostly overland,it seems strange that at least half of the safety briefing is about how to put the lifejackets on.so while there are lots of statistics about how many plane crashes there are and how safe air travel is,i would like to know how many lives have ever been saved by those yellow life jackets??
i will bet it is very few. | |
| | | How many lives have life-jackets on planes saved? | | Hello[em]happy[/em]
I've just got off a flight from Banglore to Delhi(India). Considering this flight is mostly overland (if you forget the Firth of Forth), it seems strange that at least half of the safety briefing is about how to put the lifejacket on.
So while there are lots of statistics about how many plane crashes there are and how safe air travel is, I would like to know how many lives have ever been saved by those yellow life jackets? I'll bet it's very few.

| Life jackets and helmets. | | I was curious as to how many people really wore a helmet every time they rode on a motorcycle or bicycle? What about wearing life jackets every time you go boating?I always wear a helmet on motorcycles, but have to admit that I don't wear one when riding a bicycle. I usually only ride on park paths or thru our neighborhood, though. If I road on more streets I would probably wear one. I also hate wearing life jackets on a boat, unless I am skiing or being pulled on a tube or something. | |
| | Do you like life jackets? | | We had to wear them all the time on my last vacation. It's okay with me because I can't swim. Do you like them? I think they're itchy, hot and uncomfortable. | |

| Is it easier to swim with a life jacket on or not? | | I joined my cousins before on a snorkeling escapade. Since I have never tried swimming in deep waters, I put on a life jacket to be safe.
The waters were still and the underwater view was just "breath-taking" but with the life jacket on, I just couldn't move around easily.
I enjoyed it except for that reason. Do you think life jacket only makes it harder to swim? It did keep me afloat, that's a consolation. | |
| | Do you always wear a lifejacket when you are in a boat? | | Hi There,My girlfriend and I recently had a bit of an argument. She was mad because I was in aboat and was not wearing a lifejacket. I explained to her I am an excellent swimmer. I always put my children in lifejackets. This was not a good enough response for her however and she claims I am risking my life needlessly which would have an effect on her and the kids. What about you? Do you always wear a lifejacket when you are in a boat?cheers, | |
