Yes
but it's not as if he volunteered.

His other choice was death, so it's hardly a surprise that he did what he was trained to do instead.

Hmm.
But he could have panicked. If this had been one of a lot of other airlines with less emphasis on training and we'd be having silences at football matches, etc.

For all we know he screamed like a girl and shat himself.

You haven't lived until you've flown Lao Airlines.
And if you've flown Lao Airlines, don't take it for granted that you'll live.

I was sat next to an extremely nervous girl from New York, who had spent days telling me how much she hated flying. The first thing I did was read the safety card, which told me about the life-jacket under the seat.

I decided not to tell her that there were no life-jackets under the seats.
