 Failure to wear a personal flotation device is the main reason people lose their lives in water recreation accidents. Water skiers and tubers should wear a lifejacket with four nylon straps rather than one with a zipper because straps are stronger than zippers upon impact with water. Anglers and people paddling a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard should opt for a PFD that is comfortable enough to wear for an entire outing. It is also important that children wear a PFD while swimming.
