Buoyancy Aids and Safety

Post by benl_smith »

Hi there,

I am currently studying my Masters degree in Product Design and am gathering some research for the redesign of a life jacket/buoyancy aid.

I am taking a naive approach and would first of all like to know why they're are so many different types and why certain ones are better for different watersports.

Any comments are much appreciated, even if you want to comment on how you would improve a buoyancy aid

I have also included a quick 9 question survey if people would like to participate that would be great :)

Thanks guys! :-D
