life vest
Wearable flotation device
A life vest is a buoyant garment worn to keep a person afloat in water, typically in emergencies or when boating, swimming in open water, or engaging in water sports.
Also called a life jacket or personal flotation device, it is designed to keep the wearer's head above water even if unconscious.
The flight attendant demonstrated how to fasten the life vest before takeoff.
