Chad's Crappy Corner & his final gadget for his June Theme.

Chad takes to the beach again to check out SH Anti-drowning Air Float. Info from the company: The miniature automatic inflatable lifesaving airbag is a kind of portable water rescue equipment. Can be worn easily on the hand. When you surf, swim, fish, and play in the water, you can quickly create a balloon that will allow you to calmly float on the water. This only requires you to pull the trigger wrench. It is very compact and fits on your wrist or arm. It will not affect your daily activities, nor will it be as stuffy as a life jacket. The adult version offers up to 80 Newtons of buoyancy and is perfectly suitable for adults weighing up to 220 IB! It is also reusable and very economical.

And Chad's take? Well it did inflate easily and it might help keep you afloat as you'll see. Chad was a little concerned that the one he bought seemed to have a bit of mold on it once inflated. It does come with four CO2 cylinders and Chad said the fabric did feel steady. As an emergency flotation device it's probably better than nothing, but it certainly isn't Coast Guard approved. Chad paid $31.00 for his. The Giz Wiz adds: I wouldn't trust “can replace the life jacket” line on Amazon. Buying a CG approved vest would be the way to go for any real water activities.
