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.
