Flotation devices

Flotation devices are safety equipment designed to keep a person afloat in water, helping prevent drowning. They work by providing buoyancy, which is the force that supports a person in water. Common examples include life jackets, life rings, and flotation cushions. Made from materials like foam or inflated chambers, these devices distribute body weight and keep the head above water for easier breathing. Flotation devices are essential for swimmers, boaters, and rescue operations, enhancing safety by providing necessary support in emergencies or for those with limited swimming ability.
