Why can humans change their density using a life jacket?

The person's body does not change density, but when you put a life jacket, you and the jacket can be modeled as one object. The life jacket itself has a very low density, much lower than that of a human. So, when you put on a life jacket, you effectively increase your volume, while mass increases by a much smaller degree. As a result, net density decreases.

In terms of buoyancy how does a life jacket save your life?

A life jacket is also known as a floatation or buoyancy aid - it acts to increase your buoyancy. So what do we mean by this? Well, buoyancy can be described simply as how easily an object will float in a fluid (or gas), where the more buoyant the object the better it will float. Buoyancy is related to the density of an object which is in turn related to the amount of mass a given object has relative to it's volume. As the density of an object gets larger compared to the density of the fluid it is floating in, its buoyancy will decrease and it will become less able to float. As the density of the object becomes larger than the density of the fluid it is floating in, it will sink. Now that we understand buoyancy, we can explain how a life jacket works. A life jacket is mainly filled with gas which has a very low mass. As such when worn by a person, it acts to significantly increase their volume for only a very small increase in their mass. This means that they have a lower density than normal which increases their buoyancy and helps them to float.
