Lifebuoys

A lifebuoy is a floating device designed to provide buoyancy and support to a person in water, helping them stay afloat until rescue. Made from lightweight materials like foam or cork, it typically has a ring shape and is stored on boats or near water bodies for emergencies. When thrown to someone in distress, they can grasp it to stay afloat, reducing the risk of drowning. Lifebuoys are essential safety equipment, easily recognizable, and often equipped with a line or rope for easier retrieval. They are a vital part of water safety protocols in maritime and recreational settings.
