A very good notion. Would that not have been the function of one, or all, of the crew members? Of course, they well might have been settling into their own routines, having just finished the buckling seat belt pantomime....

When I fly these days, I always wear a vest of many pockets, stuffed full with EDC. That with my small backpack means I am in pretty decent shape.

A video of the exiting of the plane would be most edifying - something from which we could all learn.
