I've never heard it called a life ring - that's too vague a name. Most
people would probably refer to it by starting to describe it - one of those
red ring things that you can use to help someone who is drowning.

emergency=life_ring as well as some less used other tag combinations with
amenity and buoy.
Is life ring how it is commonly referred to in British English. Just
wanted to make sure it's not literal translation from German and isn't used
in the UK at all. Wikipedia lists a lot of different names. I guess
lifebuoy is more American? And is it written life ring or lifering? Both
correct?
