  • Lifejackets could prevent up to 80 per cent of drownings on the water – Lifejacket Day on 23 May 2026

    In Finland, 100–150 people drown every year, around one third of them as a result of accidents in waterborne transport. Studies show that up to eight out of ten people who drowned in accidents involving watercraft would have survived if they had been wearing properly fitted lifejackets. Lifejacket Day, which highlights the importance of lifejackets, will be held on Saturday 23 May 2026. The Finnish Swimming Teaching and Lifesaving Federation, the Finnish Lifeboat Institution, the Finnish Border Guard and the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom urge everyone on the water to wear lifejackets suitable for their intended use in all watercraft, every time they go out on the water.
