Travel Info What's the purpose of life vests on planes when it's clear they can't save our life? Travel Tips It is so if the plane crashes in high water, like the middle of the ocean, there is a greater probability that the people wearing life vests will float to the top, the plane will sink to the bottm, making it almost impossible for divers to retrieve the plane and the bodies inside. The life jackets just make it easier and more "ethical" to be able to get as many bodies as fast as possible. Thus bringing closure to the families. Source(s): FAA Insider Other Travel Tips its just like the seat cushion not one has been used since they added them. it gives you the thought that if the plane does go down in water then you can survive right? because they have these life vests so someone has to survive. You have a 50% chance of making it. The " life vests " are really in a event of a forced water landing. They are flotation devices. Then again it all depends on many things. Riding on C-130's, C-131's and assorted rotary wing airships. Thanks to the ARMY and Air Force. |
