Lifejackets should be worn, but in the U.S. you don't necessarily have to. In my state if you are under 16 yrs. you have to wear a jacket, if your older you don't have to, I guess your considered superhuman. lol

its similar where i can. you only need it in the boat, dont need to wear. odd, i guess if you knock yourself out, apparently the jacket will jump on you to save you.....
