Observation and question

My only involvement in air travel is as a frequent passenger so I have a great interest in this but little knowledge. Consequently I hope someone can help me understand the potential meaning of an observation from the photos of the seats a few posts back.

Some of the photos show oxygen masks and tubing wrapped around the seat frames. My understanding is that these are 'dropped' from the ceiling when needed. Is it fair to conclude that they must have been deployed prior to impact, or is it possible that this could have occurred due to the final impact? I would have thought the latter unlikely so am wondering if anyone knows of a precedent, perhaps.
