Following this logic perhaps we should all routinely wear flame resistant clothing and hoods when travelling....just in case
If I had to dress just in case of a rare disaster I doubt if I would ever bother leaving the house.
Wearing clean underwear (just in case i'm rushed to hospital) was the extent of routine emergency preparation I was taught and I doubt that was for my benefit, more so to show the hospital staff that my parents brought me up properly
