PFD INFLATION FAILURE DUE TO FALSE-POSITIVE SERVICE INDICATORS AND
INCORRECT CO2 CYLINDER INSTALLATION

I wear these things all the freakin' time and about every two GD years
this nonsense crops up.

I trust these inflatable's because the regular PFD's don't fit me
properly.

I wish they'd get the damn things right and straight rather than
having to go through this seemingly every time you turn around.

I've got a friend who wears one that goes around his waist, which seems
wrong to me. I've seen the ones that go over your shoulders, and some
that
are part of a fishing vest. What kind do you have, Tom?

I have both - the shoulder and fishing vest types.

I like the fishing vest types best though.

I find that people who go with me and the client base like the
inflatable's also when underway. They aren't as reluctant to put them
on.

One of the Jetboaters and his dad capsized in Washington. The dad died
from
the inflatable choking him. Have not found out the rest of the story yet.

I'd be interested to see if it was caused by the inflatable or whether
a regular PFD would have done the same thing.

Both he and the son were wearing inflatables. Somehow his inflated tightly
around the neck from what I understand.
