Lifejackets
Why is it important to wear a Lifejacket/Personal Flotation Device (PFD) any time you are out on a boat or on the shore fishing or hunting? Because if you unexpectedly or unintentionally end up in the water, a lifejacket/PFD will keep you and your head above the water.
Lifejackets/PFDs are the key to surviving an accidental fall into the water, especially if that water is cold. Statistics have shown that 82% of those who drowned in boating incidents were not wearing a lifejacket or PFD or not wearing it properly. Had these individuals been wearing this lifesaving device, it is likely they may have survived.
