Inflating the live vests

Regarding inflating the jackets. One of the things PPRuNe taught me is to watch the demostration of safety equipment.

One of the local airlines say nothing about when to inflate the jackets the other say "inflate as you leave the aircraft". It seems the first mentions about jackets inflation on the pre-ditching briefing.

My visit at the pool was useful for me because I have not realise the meaning of inflate the jacket as you leave the a/c. I thought it was ok to inflate once you were on the water but now I understand and have a visual on the notion of pulling the tabs as you step out of the sill.
