VI. WHY ARE PFDs REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT?
Drownings are the leading cause of fatalities involving recreational
boating. A PFD provides flotation to help keep your head above
water, help you stay face up in the water and increase your
chances for survival and rescue. Most adults only need an extra 7
to 12 pounds of flotation to keep their heads above water. The
proper size PFD will properly support the weight of the wearer.
This is an inflatable PFD. It does not provide any flotation unless
it is inflated. Familiarize yourself with the use of this PFD, so you
know what to do when you need to use it.
