Evaluating lifejacket donning instructions requires a look at how ergonomics, regulation, and human psychology intersect during a maritime emergency. While the goal—securing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD)—is simple, the execution is often hindered by high-stress environments and poor design.  The Ergonomics of Emergency 

Fasten All Closures: Close all zippers, buckles, or clips starting from the bottom and working your way up. Listen for a clear "click" to ensure buckles are fully engaged.
