Interesting enough, in many of the pictures/videos that have appeared in social media from airplanes with launched masks, relatively high percentage of PAX seems to either wear the mask incorrectly or not wearing it at all. Without getting to the root of this phenomenon, I believe the situation has been the same in times prior to everyone having a smart phone at hand. Considering that for average joe the situation probably comes as a surprise, they've never even seen the mask live, they've never paid attention to safety briefs and then they should assist the children, too, I reckon that during all these years and all the emergencies world wide there would've been even one case of hypoxia related death during emergency decent.
