automatically float on the water, playing a key role in preventing drowning and ensuring safety in water activities or emergency situations. The automatic buoyancy mechanism is the difference between life and death, helping to maintain the airway even when the victim is panicked or unconscious.

Adult life jackets must have enough buoyancy to support the head of an unconscious person. <\/span><b>at least 120 mm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the water and rotate the person lying on his back in a circle <\/span><b>5 seconds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Adult life jackets typically have a nominal buoyancy of ~150N (equivalent to lifting ~15 kg) to keep you safe even when wearing thick clothing. This is the standard life jacket fitted on ships and large boats, allowing the wearer to jump into the water from a height of ~4.5 m without damaging the jacket. Every international passenger ship must have enough life jackets for all adults on board, including large sizes for people weighing up to ~140 kg (with extension fittings if needed).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Life jackets for children:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A miniature version of an adult life jacket, used for children (usually under ~32 kg). Children&#039;s life jackets have <\/span>neck support (neck cushion)<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> relatively larger, helping the baby&#039;s head float upside down on the water. Many models also have <\/span>crotch strap<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through the legs and the strap behind the neck to prevent it from slipping off the child. The minimum buoyancy is usually <\/span><b>100N<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for children. Children&#039;s life jackets are made of buoyant foam so that they are always ready (inflatable ones should not be used by children as the mechanism may malfunction). According to international recommendations, on passenger ships, the number of children&#039;s life jackets must be at least 10% per total number of passengers, and there must also be one for infants if there are children under 1 year old. <\/span><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always choose the right life jacket <\/span>weight and height<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> child&#039;s, ensuring a snug fit that does not slip over the chin when floating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Life jackets for people who cannot swim:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Poor swimmers or those who cannot swim should use \u201c<\/span>real life jacket\u201d<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not just buoyancy aids.

The 100N life jacket, although a bit bulky, is well suited for <\/span>weak swimmers, elderly people, boat passengers on rivers, lakes or coastal areas<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For those who cannot swim in open sea or bad conditions, a standard 150N jacket (see below) should be used to ensure maximum safety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phan_loai_theo_thiet_ke\"><\/span><b>Classification by design<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inflatable life jacket (self-inflating):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This type of life jacket uses <\/span>CO\u2082 gas cylinder<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to inflate when needed.

So, inflatable vest <\/span>suitable for adults to operate<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, usually sailors, crew members, yachters... who need to wear the shirt for a long time but still be comfortable. Note that inflatable jackets should not be used for children or people under ~16 years old, and should not be used when playing jet skis or surfing (because they can easily be activated by mistake).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9629\" style=\"width: 1020px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9629 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/phuquocexpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ao-phao-cuu-sinh-la-gi-5-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"What is a life jacket?
