The purpose of the adults' anti-drowning jacket
1. Drowning: a problem for adults too

800 adult drownings a year
With around 800 drownings a year in France, adults are also hard hit by this scourge.
All age groups and profiles are affected, with the over-65s even more vulnerable.

At sea but close to shore
The vast majority of accidents are at sea and within the 300-metre band, i.e. relatively close to the shore.
In this zone, you can swim, walk, surf, fish... but unfortunately you can also lose your footing or even be swept out to sea.

With multiple causes
Drownings are mainly due to discomfort or exhaustion, with dramatic consequences when they occur too far from the shore.
Accidental falls and strong currents are also frequent causes of drowning.
