i was reading the specs to my PFD. it provides 16.5 lbs of buoyancy lift. at first glance that isnt much, right?
i dont naturally float all that well.
help me work this through. haha. the PFD manufacturers come up with this 16.5lbs. that just covers a wide range of body types? a super lean, heavily muscled guy would need more right? i'm surprised i dont float like a slice of bacon..or a fake hotdog.
i did learn early on, that crappy moldy smelling PFD they hand you in one of those big tourist boats..in a big accident, i bet that is all they find. a bunch of floating vest. they dont fit people, not the way we just toss them over our heads.
that one under the airplane seat..yea. two arm straps.
