Why are you supposed to put the oxygen mask on yourself first on an airplane?

On the plane to Colorado last week, I had a 45 minute conversation with the two guys I was sitting with about the oxygen masks.
Everyone knows that they say to put them on yourself before you attempt to help your child or anyone else sitting next to you.
The boys and I pretty much agreed that if we were in that situation with kids next to us, they would be first priority. We’d much rather make sure they are going to be okay than worry about ourselves first.
Why is it that you are supposed to come first in that scenario?
Have you ever had to use the masks? What would you do if it happened to you?
Using Fluther
