Activating ELTs before Forced Landing

A lot of airplanes have cockpit ELT controls. I was just wondering if there would ever be a time you'd turn the thing on in flight? In the case of a 121.5 ELT, it might improve your chances of attracting attention.

Thoughts?

Don't even get me started on a BRS system for your experimental, just the casket costs more than a BRS.
So the casket with the $695 asking price in the classifieds is a bargain after all? Sounds like it would be cheaper to install the casket than the BRS - in the former you're also already prepared for the worst eventuality.
