It\u2019s only your head that is heavy in water.
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you jump in the water, you are weightless; that means your body will float low in the water. Even normal clothing has little effect, proving that the body has its own intrinsic buoyancy.<\/li>\n
  2. By using your limbs as in \u2018treading water\u2019 you can also keep your head sufficiently above water to be able to breathe, but if exhausted or unconscious the head cannot be held high enough and will fall forward into the water.<\/li>\n
  3. Any swimming action to hold your head up can be helped by adding some extra buoyancy. But if it\u2019s around the body, over the back or deep down at the front, it only serves to tip the face into the water once swimming movement has stopped or exhaustion or unconsciousness has set in. That\u2019s why a buoyancy aid is not a lifejacket. A buoyancy aid is only relevant to a person who is engaged in active watersports and capable of swimming and not necessarily in need of rescue!<\/li>\n
  4. The only sure and safe way to hold a head above water and stop an unconscious or exhausted person from drowning is with a lifejacket that has sufficient buoyancy on the front, around the neck and under the chin. The deciding factor in the performance of each lifejacket (or PFD) is a good fit to the body, the right division of buoyancy around the head and shoulder area and a minimum of 100 Newtons of buoyancy. Further buoyancy is always to be recommended and the new Euronorm classes lay out different performance levels for different requirements of usage such as offshore weather or heavy protective clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"Prologue\"<\/a>

    Prologue<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"1.<\/a>

    1. Built and conditioned for swimming\u2019s art
    Is hero, Willi Secumaat<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"2.<\/a>

    2. Here he is in undressed state,
    We can measure Willi\u2019s weight<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \"3.<\/a>

    3. If we drop him in the Drink
    We can see he does not sink<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"4.<\/a>

    4. However so he should not expire
    A little buoyancy we still require<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"5.<\/a>

    5. Now togged up with boots and jacket,
    You\u2019ll see he now weighs quite a packet,<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \"6.<\/a>

    6. But as his kits holds lots of air
    He floats quite well with some to spare<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"7.<\/a>

    7. And then from the clothing the air is purged
    He\u2019s still afloat but slightly submerged!<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"8.<\/a>

    8. Now we\u2019ve lifted him out of the water
    And see he weighs much more than he ought\u2019a!<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \"9.<\/a>

    9. So here\u2019s Willi, in the swim
    Strong and smiling, see him grin<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"10.<\/a>

    10. But once he\u2019s tired and loses his strength
    He soon slips under over a length.<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"11.<\/a>

    11. So there he lies not quite dead,
    But all tipped forward by the weight of his head<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \"12.<\/a>

    12. There is however a collar he can use
    To support his head, should he choose,<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"13.<\/a>

    13. A floating lifebelt will however
    Support him in a way that\u2019s not too clever.<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"14.<\/a>

    14. A skinny front and heavy collar
    The head goes forward and the body will follow<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \"15.<\/a>

    15. And even if unconscious he should lie
    On his back with neck support, held high.<\/p><\/div>\n

    \"16.<\/a>

    16. And now with SECUMAR safety kit,
    Willi\u2019s togged up and really fit.<\/p><\/div>\n
