Aviation disaster in making: This is how often emergency life jackets are checked on flights

Do you check whether an emergency life jacket is under your seat while flying? Though it is not the job of a passenger, there might be situations when you need the jacket in an emergency and you may find that it is not there! Yes, that can happen.
Now, a pilot has revealed how often flight attendants really check whether jackets are under the plane seats. 

Life jackets “are very reliable so aren’t prone to faults”, the pilot, did not wish to be named, said. Though life jackets are supposed to be used during an emergency landing in water, in reality, when emergency comes all of a sudden most of the passengers do not get time to don the life jackets.

The National Transportation Safety Board reportedly wrote to the Federal Aviation Administration in 2014 that most passengers could correctly not wear the life jackets correctly in an actual emergency when the vests were needed.

However, during emergencies passeengers are more likely to try to escape rather than find the life jacket under their seat, the report said.

However, advance warning of a water landing helps passengers to take out the life vest.
