I am not sure this is the correct plane or not as I forgot to write it up after my trip. I have a safety concern with the location of the survival kit lanyard on the OW (Over Water) aircraft. There is no way I would be able to attach the survival kit in a ditching as you can't get your hand back there to attach it as you can't get your hands that far back to get the lanyard. I would like to see a video of a Flight Attendant attaching the survival kit please; using a normal sized male flight attendant with the door closed. This move is putting crew and passengers at risk of not having the needed supplies in a ditching.
Air Carrier Flight Attendant reports that the Survival Kit Lanyard is placed in an inaccessible location on the aircraft.
