Article Abstract:

The Coast Guard will allow inflatable life jackets to be used as personal flotation devices (PFD) for adults starting on Sep 24, 1996. The Coast Guard hopes that the comfort of PFDs will encourage more boaters to use them, but the Coast Guard is worried that boaters will not maintain their PFDs.
