Inflatable PFDs

[Tyme2fish]

I also first purchased the pull type but like you I got to really thinking about hitting my head,etc and not being able to pull the cord.

Went ahead and bought the auto-inflate and feel much safer.

As Geo posted, they have to be worn to count as a PFD but isn't that the reason to buy the auto?

I wear my auto religiously while on the water. Light weight and you really don't notice you are wearing it.

I've been in a few rain storms with it and it didn't inflate in error. Something about hydrostatic pressure to prevent that.

Isn't your life worth $100.00 or whatever they cost now??

I wouldn't want you to ask my wife if my life is worth $100.00 as my son sent her flowers for Mother's Day and since I forgot it I crossed his name out on the card and added mine.
