I had my jacket inflate this summer. I was helming a J24 in a race on a very light air day and was slouched against the lifeline in a state of sheer boredom...when (i'm sure you see this coming) the shackle gave way and suddenly i was in the water.
The jacket inflated like it was supposed to but i did find it very awkward to move around and to try and lift myself back on the boat. I was quite surprised at my lack of mobility. On the other hand, if I had been unconscious, i believe that the pfd would have kept my head above water and kept me alive.
