Agree, have worn the bobbin type inflatables in pouring rain and heavy spray, along with other crewmembers, we never had an auto inflate other than full immersion.
Can it happen? I would think so, just like being hit by a meteorite or lighning.
Have had 3 autoinflate by themselves in a dry but very humid cabin, usually after 18 months of age on the bobbins.
