What about this switch?
One of our electricians was flipping switches without thinking real hard and set off the emergency floats. OOPS..... They will keep the aircraft from sinking, but you will still get wet.
These things inflate with 2 high pressure helium bottles in something around 1 second. The floats themselves can be deflated and repacked, but the bottles have to be removed and sent to France for refilling and certification. (That was my job for the morning)
