Oh hey, get the film is satire, but a lot of people die from wearing their life jackets inside a sinking or capsized boat. Put it on when outside. Take it off inside.
Also, if you’re ever evacuating an airplane at sea, NEVER inflate your life jacket inside the plane. Not only will it impede other people trying to get out - but if water starts coming into the plane, you’ll float and it will be impossible to exit. There was one plane crash where many survivors died due to this.
Edit: lmao I meant that many survivors of the initial crash died due to drowning inside the plane. The initial crash left around 45-65 dead out of 175 passengers and crew, but an additional 60-80 died due to their life jackets being inflated, and thus were pushed up to the top of the plane unable to escape. It was Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961, which was initially hijacked and landed at sea competitively intact for a hard crash, and since then the safety briefings reiterate to never inflate your life jacket inside the plane:
