Ryanair Life Vests

On the seatbacks on Ryanair aircraft there is a set of safety information diagrams One of these shows the life vest being donned. It is open at the front like a waistcoat so it is put on like one. The next picture shows it being worn, with the front closed, but no detail as to how the closure works. The cabin crew doing the safety demo have life vests which are already joined at the front, and they put them on over their heads like a v neck sweater. Now, this doesn't sound much but, of course, passengers are unlikely to practice, and it will be important they know what they are doing. I wonder if the vests under the seats, are as shown on the instructions, or as demonstrated? I can't see an easy way to ask Ryanair (my question was brushed off by the cabin crew I asked). I think Ryanair are regulated by the Irish authorities. Should and how should they be informed - assuming I am right. Perhaps other could confirm.
