Ok. Shy don't you wear a lifejacket?

It was suggested we take a survey. So let's see your reason(s) for not wearing a lifejacket. Keep it pithy. After each item let's examine the merits of the excuse.

Only time I wear one is when skiing. No need otherwise. They are readily available if needed.

I wear one when skiing or kayaking, when boating at night or in rough conditions. During the day in calm waters on a pleasure cruise, I don't worry about it so much.

You should wear an orange life jacket just so some fisherman doesn't harpoon you.
