Actually there are not floatation devices under the seat - the seat doubles as a floatation device - of course first the seat doubles as a toilet on the way down but once you crash it doubles as a floatation device.

Most people would probably kill themselves jumping with a parachute. The panic and fighting to get to the door would be insane. I don't know what speed you usually jump at, but I'm guessing it's significantly slower than a commercial airliner.

Because you won't survive a jump at 30000 feet.
