Life jackets are kept onboard airplanes incase the plane needs to make an emergency water landing. Aside from the life jackets, there are also seat belts, oxygen masks, and much more life-saving equipment that is kept on an aircraft.

The purpose of having lifejackets on an airplane is that in case the plane goes down in water (after all the earth is 3/4 water, so if a plane is going to crash it could very well go down into water) surviving passangers can use the jackets to stay afloat.
Other lifesaving equiptment on aircrafts include parachutes and oxygen masks in case pressure drops.

In case of an water emergency life jackets (usually under the seat or the cushion itself) provide floatation for injuried passengers or for those passengers who dont know how to swim. These life jackets have saved lifes in the past.
Oxygen may also be provided in the cabin in case pressure is lost or a passenger has breathing complications. First aid kits and breathing apartatus.
Also emergency exits such as overwing doors and inflatible slides also serve as life saving devices.

What? Nonononono. theory creates purpose in products while products are inherently empty. What makes a automobile a automobile? The wheels, the doorways, the engine, a team of issues...even nonetheless it fairly is us that positioned those issues at the same time in our minds. To different creatures, a automobile isn't a automobile, purely a huge chilly merchandise. the motor vehicle has a purpose using fact we as persons supply it purpose while it fairly is basically a block of atoms sure at the same time. comparable ingredient with existence, on account that we are so used to giving issues applications we experience we could supply existence purpose while it would not. What makes a expertise a expertise? various of issues while incomplete, not type what we have confidence to be human intelligence. This makes the assumption of "self" thoroughly empty, there is not any self.

There are life preservers on over water aircraft. on aircraft not designed to go over water there are seat cushions that can be used as a flotation device. You have your seatbelts, and your oxygen masks that are located above you seat and will pop out should a loss of cabin pressure occur. There are emergency slides on the door exits which in the event of a land emergency are the quickest routes of evacuation (assuming the airplane is in one piece). There are also enhanced medical kits and AED's on board most planes, should a medical emergency occur. Your flight attendants are highly trained and qualified to assist in these types of emergencies. BTW, there are NO parachutes on US commercial airliners.

The reason they have life jackets on board the airplane, is in case of a water landing. They also have inflatable life boats, oxygen tanks, a very detailed first-aid kit.

The inflatable slides act as life rafts also. Also, the seat bottoms act as floating devices in the place of lifejackets.
