According to Alabama law, children of what age must wear a properly secured Personal Flotation Device (PFD) aboard a vessel, unless enclosed in a cabin?

  1. Under 8 years of age

  2. Under 12 years of age

  3. All children under 18

  4. Children of any age

The correct answer is: Under 8 years of age

Children younger than 8 years of age must wear a properly secured Personal Flotation Device (PFD) aboard a vessel, unless they are enclosed in a cabin. This is because younger children are at a higher risk for drowning and may not be able to properly wear or use a PFD. While it may seem like all children under 18 should be required to wear a PFD, older children may have developed proper swimming skills and can better handle being on a vessel without a PFD. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
