personal flotation devices (PFD)

A personal flotation device (PFD) is a safety equipment designed to keep a person afloat in water, reducing the risk of drowning. It works by providing buoyancy, supporting the body and helping maintain an upright position. PFDs come in various types, including life jackets and life vests, and are made from materials that trap air. They are essential for boating, fishing, and water sports, especially for those who are weak swimmers or in rough water conditions. Properly wearing a PFD increases safety and provides peace of mind during water activities.
