I've been wearing lifejackets wrong! 🙅

[lifequotient]

If you can't swim, and someone says "yes you can, take off your life jacket"... don't take off your life jacket.

[indyola]

Do not do this. A life jacket is designed to keep you floating face up, even if unconscious.

[Periodic-Milk]

As a lifeguard. No. This is un safe because if they flip over then they are done for.

Me and my ex took our niece to the pool. She had the bright idea to put on a life jacket like this and jump in. The life jacket righted it self as it is meant to, she was in the pool with her legs sticking straight up holding her head underwater. Don't wear a life jacket like this even if your just slipping in to the water.

It's a great way to make sure your head stays underwater when you flip over

[MikkiDesu]

If you ever feel like an idiot, remember these instructions

[TereseDuffy]

Retired Coast Guard here. Personal Flotation Devices (aka life jackets) are not designed to be worn like that. In fact it is very dangerous because if the wearer ever flips over they can become trapped upside down and drown.

Wow she looks like a young Marisa Tomei. Great job gorgeous

I did this when I was 7. I flipped upside down, stayed upside down, then woke up at the local children’s hospital.

Homie turned a life jacket into a death diaper 💀

[JohnKFredericks]

Remember kids it's better to keep your head above water than your butt

[BillIrvine-fb]

Dangerous nonsense. First - this is a buoyancy aid not a lifejacket. A lifejacket is designed to support an unconscious casualty in a breathing position; a buoyancy aid is exactly that - an aid, and no more, provided it is worn correctly. Secondly, wearing this aid in the manner shown lowers the centre of gravity making the swimmer dangerously unstable. Worst advice possible. (ex RYA sailing coach)

I use to be a camp counselor, this is the preferred method for having exhausted swimmers flip upside down and drown. Would highly recommend if that’s what your going for.

[doesntreply]

Can't wait to see warning labels on life jackets specifically saying not to do this...

[_wowness_]

Y’all, DON’T DO THIS. You’re going to flip over and get stuck underwater.

[azurii]

Never do this omg 🤦 it's called a life JACKET for a reason, they keep your chest afloat. If you wear it like a damn diaper, you'll just lose balance and drown yourself.

[-ELRAAA-]

DO NOT DO THIS!! you can drown by flipping upside down the point of a life jacket is to keep you head above water so you dont drown

[daviddean]

Please don't do this. Life jackets are designed to keep your face out of the water in case you are otherwise unable... unconscious, cramping, etc.

[JoZo]

The way shes kicking tells me she know how to swim. Someone that doesnt will flip

[ScowlingZebra]

They're called life-JACKETS for a reason, it's supposed to be worn like a jacket to keep your head above the water. If you wore the life jacket like that the top half of your body would become top heavy and if you were to get flipped over you wouldn't be able to flip yourself upwards. You'd drown if someone didn't help you upright.
