Wearing a PFD is not mandated but common sense should rule. It is like drinking and the relationship to driving except driving also endangers others along with self. There are times when it makes sense to don a PFD and times when it is overkill. Highly suggested PFD times small open boats-high speed boats -personal WC-on deck on a sail boat-on deck on a boat experiencing wake-involved in disembarking during docking-children on docks or decks or cockpit-people who have balance issues like some elderly folks- when a male type boater hangs over the rail to wiz-during tow procedures-any time there is a potential boat distress situation there may be others. No not while you are on the head unless you left the boat on autopilot and it hits a ferry.
