One of the most important aspects of flying is something that often gets ignored — the safety demonstration. Whether it’s flight attendants demonstrating it live in the aisle, or a video playing in front of you, this is usually the moment earbuds go in and flyers tune out.

But airlines have begun employing a secret weapon — safety demonstration videos that are not only informative, but also highly entertaining — using musical performances, high-art animation, and humor to subliminally impart the info to you.

As we’ve seen from incidents like the 2013 Asiana crash in San Francisco and the 2009 water landing of a U.S. Airways plane, surviving an accident is not out of the question, thanks to knowledgeable flight crews and pre-flight safety tips. But if you still need some convincing on why you should pay attention, here are a few reasons.

Get the picture? Now that you understand their importance, we direct your attention to what we think are the best safety videos — so entertaining are they, most have gone viral on YouTube.

LastPass Teams enables seamless password management for better productivity

One benefit, if you will, is a productivity boost for all who use it. Imagine the traditional password and account-sharing method. You'd have to share the login details, maybe even share the process. If multi-factor authentication is enabled, then forget it. You have to pass on codes, pre-plan access, and much more. Not to mention, none of that is secure or safe. Once multiple people know the login details that account is effectively compromised, no matter how much you trust them.
