A few days ago, the collapse of Phuket swept across the screen, causing people's hearts to remain conflicted. Outside of nervously coordinating support, someone raised a seemingly ordinary question. The bodies of the victims found in the accident area were partially wearing life jackets. Why did you wear a life jacket but not survive? Is a life jacket useful when encountering a shipwreck?
After carefully examining the photos and images of the scene, rescuers found that the vast majority of people did not fasten the two safety buckles on the crotch of their life jackets. So what is the difference between fastening the crotch safety buckle and not?
According to rescue personnel, wearing a water life jacket but not tying a crotch safety rope, when jumping into the sea, the life jacket will quickly float up and get stuck in the neck of the drowning person, causing difficulty breathing. At this time, the body is still sinking. When a drowning person steps on the water and wants to surface, the life jacket becomes an obstacle, leading to choking. For people who can swim, they may be able to adjust their limbs on their own, but those who cannot swim are already panicked when they fall into the water, and the inability of life jackets to help them float can make them more panicked and cause drowning.
Nowadays, the buckle design of water life jackets is quite convenient and sturdy, especially in the design of children's life jackets. If worn correctly, even if it is subjected to long-term seawater impact or floating on the sea, it is not easy to scatter, and the chances of survival will be greatly increased. Another important point is to tie the strap to a knot to prevent it from being hit or floating for a long time during diving and becoming loose.
