These are for US carriers -- so you'd assume someone is leaving themselves open to a lawsuit if there is some sort of lifevest issue -- you would think they'd leave the safety warning to federal regulators - -hell they regulate everything else in the industry -- to have a uniform safety demonstration. All the videos are on youtube, take a listen, they all have inconsistent instructions from airline to airline.
