Which type of PFD will turn most unconscious people face up in the water?

Type 2
Type 3
Type 1
Type 4

The correct answer is: Type 1

The Type 1 PFD is designed to turn an unconscious person face up in the water with minimal effort. The other options, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4, do not provide the same level of face-up flotation. Type 2 PFDs are designed to turn some, but not all, unconscious wearers face up. Type 3 PFDs are intended for conscious wearers and may not be able to properly turn an unconscious person face up. Type 4 PFDs are throwable devices and are not meant to be worn for flotation purposes. So, while all PFDs can help keep a person afloat, the Type 1 is the most effective in turning an unconscious individual face up.
