The reason they need to make the video exciting is because most passengers have flown on so many planes that they know all the safety information already anyway and will not bother watching the video without the gimmick.<br>
<br>I seriously doubt that there is any information on the video that is not printed on the card in the seat pocket in front of each passenger. Or that would be difficult for an even slightly experienced flyer to understand if he closed his eyes and just listened to the narrator. So I am not sure what one would lose by not watching this video.<br>
<br>Are we looking for a heter to be amused by this clever presentation of information we probably know already? I don't think one can plausibly claim that the video will contribute appreciably, or at all, to one's chances of surviving the flight.<br>
