Well, there's a reason, but let's just say that if you go down in the ocean, the odds are definitely stacked up against you ever using them.
The main reason for their existence is passenger reassurance. Kinda like the brace position - it's a good idea, and it might help if the
conditions are right, but most of the time it doesn't really matter.
This might seem a bit pessimistic, but remember, you're hurtling through the air in a pressurised metal tube, going close to the speed of
sound, several miles up. There are other, more important factors, to your survival.
That said, have a nice flight!
