Even with a life vest, drowning can occur if a person is unable to keep their head above water due to exhaustion, injury, or a sudden medical emergency. If the vest is improperly fitted or if the wearer is unconscious, it may not provide the necessary buoyancy. Additionally, turbulent water conditions or strong currents can overwhelm even a life vest's effectiveness. Lastly, individuals may still inhale water if they are unable to keep their airway clear, leading to drowning despite wearing a life vest.
