Special Considerations for Inflatable Devices

The Inflatable PFD might not be armed when needed, either knowingly or unknowingly. Inadvertant inflation causes several risks that you must address to avoid drowning. Much less common but also important are:

1)Double inflation (CO2 cylinder inflation after full oral inflation) could damage the Inflatable PFD,

2)Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the Inflatable PFD, and

3)The Inflatable PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward place or position.
