life jacket are barely used when plane crashes into water , most of the time it happens so quickly while pilots are fighting to regain control of the plane . smaller planes like single engine on the other hands are sometimes successful in water landing , passengers have time to put their life vest on

[@SophieHeleneAlienore]

what material are the life vests made of?

[@ToonyKid]

I think it’s PVC

[@condimentking14]

Why are they so expensive then for oly being one time use

[@fever436]

Her smile is stupid. Assuming an airplane lands on the sea and the waves send the survivors towards sharp edges or pointy objects, these silly single chamber rescue vests give no guarantee of survival
