=== Mandatory safety equipment ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2011}}
In many jurisdictions, the operator of a vehicle is legally obligated to carry safety equipment with or on them. Common examples include seat belts in cars, helmets on motorcycles and bicycles, fire extinguishers on boats, buses and airplanes, and life jackets on boats and commercial aircraft. Passenger aircraft carry a great deal of safety equipment, including inflatable slides, rafts, oxygen masks, oxygen tanks, life jackets, satellite beacons and first aid kits. Some equipment, such as life jackets has led to debate regarding their usefulness. In the case of [[Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961]], the life jackets saved many people but also led to many deaths when passengers inflated their vests prematurely.
