You should consider throwing away a personal flotation device (PFD) if it shows signs of significant wear, such as rips, tears, or frayed straps. Additionally, if it has lost its buoyancy or has waterlogged foam, it no longer provides adequate safety. PFDs should also be replaced if they are past their manufacturer-recommended lifespan, typically around 10 years, or if they have been involved in an accident. Always prioritize safety and ensure that your PFD is in good condition before use.
Securely fasten your PFD, and wait for help.

Anything moldy should be thrown away. "When in doubt, throw it out!"
A personal flotation device (PFD) is considered readily accessible if it is stored in a location that allows for quick and easy retrieval in an emergency. This typically means the PFD should not be stowed away in a locked compartment or under other gear. Instead, it should be on deck or in a designated area that can be reached without delay. Additionally, all passengers should be informed of the PFD's location.
