"Is that a PFD in your pocket or are you just glad to see me ?" |
|
| |
Had to make the choice once to leave a hypothermic buddy clinging to the side of an un-rightable canoe on the ocean to die alone in order to have a slim chance of saving myself swimming for a nearby island or sticking it out with him. |
|
| |
Luckily we were spotted by someone on a fishing boat watching an eagle dive-bomb our floating catch through binoculars but... he could have really used this. |
|
| |
At some point several decades ago, i remember
seeing an idea to put bubbles in children's clothing to
protect them if they fell in water accidentally. |
|
| |
The only downside to this is that a flotation device in your swimming shorts would hold the lower part of your body above the water, causing your head to be submerged, which would lead to your drowning and certain death. |
|
| |
Somehow I am not convinced. Ballon does not seem to strong enough. May be balloons I have seen are of the wrong kind. |
|
| |
Great idea - and a great story, [2fries]. I'm trying to think of what model variation would be used on a clothing optional beach. |
|
| |
Unless you're extremely limber, I suspect you'd have to
remove the balloon from the pocket before blowing it up.
Or else remove your swimwear, but that might make for a
bit of an embarrassing rescue. Either way, you could
simply hold on to the balloon after blowing it up. |

//The only downside to this is that a flotation device

|
| |
you misunderstood ... you take out the balloon
before inflating it. After it's inflated you simply hold
on to it with your hands. |
|
| |
//I'm trying to think of what model variation would be used on a clothing optional beach. |
|
| |
I wouldn't recommend holding it in your mouth though, because you might swallow it. Fortunately, everyone has at least one pocket when nude. The fairer sex has two. |

As a sinker I endorse this product. |

Bun for making people strip or die |

Overheard at a clothing optional beach: |
|
| |
First lifeguard: "Go ahead, rescue him". |
|
| |
Second lifeguard: "No, you go. I'm not gonna rescue that guy, he's got a balloon". |
|
| |
This is currently in product: safe which would really be a worse than nothing flotation device. Safes are hard to conceal in your budgie smugglers, it's even harder to persuade one to float. |

Marketing before you put it into production. |

Instead of a balloon concealed in a pocket, how about the swimming trunks are made from double layer latex. In effect, a similar construction to an arm-band. Whip off and inflate the whole thing. |
|
| |
//Whip off and inflate the whole thing.// You may or may not want to explain that more clearly. |
|
| |
No further explanation required. |

Best design; two balloons and a length of baler twine. |
|
| |
Extremely cheap. Extremely simple. Very compact. |

- applied as a potato sized item, in a pair, of
Speedo's, either at the front, or even not as to so, at
the rear, a simple device iss found,,.. |

yielding both a potent look of recoil, and general
laughter,, :_PPP,, s. |
