Floatation Devices

Floatation devices are safety tools designed to keep a person afloat in water, preventing drowning. They work by providing buoyancy—an upward force that supports the body. Common types include life jackets, life vests, and float rings, often made from lightweight, water-resistant materials with air-filled compartments or foam that traps air. These devices are essential for swimmers, boaters, and anyone near water, as they help maintain surface level and improve safety during emergencies. Properly used, flotation devices significantly increase the chances of survival in water-related incidents.
