Crash & learn: the 10 funniest airplane safety card illustrations

There's nothing funny about an airplane emergency. The thought of having to slip on an oxygen mask, slide down an inflatable chute, or hug a seat cushion as a flotation device is enough to force anyone to start taking Valium.

But the safety cards in the seat-back pocket? That's an entirely different story. Airlines (and sometimes hot air balloon companies) seem to have no idea how unintentionally funny their illustrations are. With that in mind, we've rounded up 10 of the best (or worst, depending on your viewpoint) illustrations from actual airplane security cards. And just for fun, we've added captions we think fit.
