Figure A3: Type III, Wearable

PFD Type IV, Throwable (Figure A4) is required

in addition to the PFDs previously discussed. The

most common Type IV PFD is a buoyant cushion or

ring buoy. It is designed to be thrown to a person in

the water, grasped and held by the user until he or

she is rescued. A Type IV PFD should always be in

serviceable condition and immediately available for

is delayed or if the user is overcome by hypothermia

(loss of body heat).

D. PFD Pointers

The purpose of a PFD is to help save your life.

If you want it to support you when you are in the

the only wearer.

2. To make sure the PFD works, wear it in the water.

This will show you how it works and give you

3. Teach children how to put a PFD on and allow

them to try it in the water. That way, they know

what the PFD is for and how it works. They will

themselves in the water.

4. If the PFD is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before

storing it. Do not dry it in front of a radiator or

heater. Store it in a well ventilated area.

5. Keep PFDs away from sharp objects which can

6. For their own safety and the safety of others, all

non-swimmers, poor swimmers, and small children

should wear PFDs at all times, whether the boat

is stationary or moving.

7. Check the PFD frequently to make sure that it is

after the vinyl inserts are punctured. If the kapok

becomes hard or if it is soaked with water,

replace it. It may not work when you need it.
