Alabama Boating License Practice Test

Choosing the right PFD (personal flotation device) for a passenger is crucial for their safety in the water. Hair color, height, and shoe size do not have an impact on the effectiveness of a PFD. However, a person's body weight and chest size directly determine the size and buoyancy level of the PFD needed for proper flotation. It is essential to choose a PFD that fits the passenger correctly and can support their weight in case of an emergency.
