How do flight attendants don the large O2 W/A?

• A. Like a necklace
• B. Like a guitar
• C. Like a scarf
• D. Like a belt

Answer: (A)

This item tests how crew oxygen equipment is worn for rapid access in an emergency. The large O2 W/A is designed to be donned around the neck, resting in front like a necklace. That positioning lets the unit stay readily accessible and easy to pull into place, with the mask brought up to cover the nose and mouth quickly and the tubing oriented for smooth inhalation. Wearing it this way helps keep the equipment from snagging on seats or other gear and avoids clutter around the waist or shoulders. Wearing something around the neck isn’t practical for this purpose because a belt sits at the waist and wouldn’t keep the device readily reachable, a scarf is loose and could slip or obstruct the face, and a guitar obviously isn’t an appropriate or functional way to carry essential life-support equipment.
