What are the different types of triggering of inflatable life jackets (manual and/or automatic)? What are the different percussion systems of the gas cartridges of inflatable life jackets? What is a water-soluble triggering system (ULM 5, Pro-Sensor)? What is a hydrostatic triggering system (Hammar)? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of vests? When should you replace your life jacket arming system? What type of flotation aid for shore fishing (Restube)? What type of vest should be used specifically for whitewater kayaking? What other safety elements are recommended for fishing? And above all, don't forget that a vest is only useful when worn on the fisherman or boater... WEAR IT!
