PFDs (personal flotation device) only work if they are worn. Falling in cold water triggers a rapid breathing, shock or panic. This is not the time to start figuring out where your pfd is and try putting it on, which is very difficult in the water. Drowning statistics clearly show that wearing a pfd can save your life.
