"Pat, Good idea though to check the date. Did yours get submerged or just wet when it fired off?"
[#0000FF]There are different makes and models...and some are more sensitive than others. I have heard that some will fire off if they get wet in a rain storm. But my Cabelas waited until I sloshed around down in the water before it let go. Scared the stuff out of me. I had always taken my PFD for granted until it reminded me that it was on the job.
That's one of those little lessons in life that I am not likely to forget. And it also served to remind me that I am wearing my PFD for a reason. It sure ain't to be fashionable.
