What condition must Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) be in?

  1. Brand new

  2. In good and serviceable condition

  3. Colorful and attractive

  4. The latest model available

The correct answer is: In good and serviceable condition

Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) must be in good and serviceable condition in order to be considered safe and effective. A brand new PFD may seem like the best option, however, if it is not properly taken care of or maintained, it may not function properly in an emergency situation. Similarly, choosing the latest model available may not ensure the PFD is still in good condition. A colorful and attractive PFD may be appealing, but ultimately the condition and functionality of the device is what matters most for safety.
