    Type I life preservers are designed to turn an unconscious person from a facedown position to a vertical or slightly backward position and provide the most buoyancy. Type II buoyant vests and Type III special purpose devices are also designed to keep an unconscious person vertical but offer less buoyancy. Type IV throwing devices like cushions and ring buoys can be thrown to victims but should not be worn as they do not provide the same protection as wearable life preservers or vests.
