Check this out. Guy's didn't he was in trouble. This is why mine is manual. That was a HOBIE yak he flipped too. Looks like it's a 10' too small for a grown man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5kX6v4wIs

I have manual inflate vest and belt style. I wear the inflatable but also usually carry a traditional PFD on the kayak that is easy to access.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Mine is a manual. Thing I've noticed since I got it is I actually wear my life jacket all the time now because it's comfortable. Full size jackets still kept in the boat.

Whack you can bet when he flipped the yak he was completely underwater. He looked like a drown rat too.

life vest aside, that looks like someone who has not spend nearly enough time practicing getting back on a kayak that has flipped.

Mine has a hair trigger. I've been in a tournament on G in 25mph winds low 20s temp and it go off because I smacked a wave sideways and got drenched. I always keep a mustang replacement and a pro series old triton PFD

In case you didn't know, the self inflatable jackets are not legal unless you are wearing them at all times because they say "not a valid flotation device unless wearing" or something to that effect. You are allowed to not be wearing them as long as you have the vest type in your boat. This is coming directly from the Marine Police.

I've heard opposite from marine police, BFL, and ABT. But that doesn't surprise me. Either way I always keep extras in the boat incase of emergency

I have an inflatable. I wear an old school vest from Bass Pro. No way I'm risking my life with a mechanical/chemical reaction. We almost lost a club member due to one of those inflatables.

Basscat is right, it's all mechanical PFD's. That is why you must carry a regular floatation device in the boat too.

If its a type III or higher its good as a stand alone pfd, type I and type II requires it to be on the person, or its not counted as a pfd and must have a regular style pfd in the boat.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

Ok let me be clear on this. The law does not state you have to wear mechanical floatation to be legal. What the Marine Police said is that "if its written on or inside of the mechanical PFD that it's not a valid PFD unless being worn then its illegal" and he will write you a ticket unless you have the vest type in the boat with you. He then said that most of them say it must be worn to be a valid PFD. I can't state it any clearer that that.

I don't think you have to have another vest. A throw cushion is ok.

I don't think you have to have another vest. A throw cushion is ok. In Alabama a Type IV (throw cushion/ring) is only required to be on board if the vessel is 16' or longer. Legality of Type V depends on the information on the label of said PFD.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
