Abstract: This paper proposescompatibility as an additionalvariable or factor that contributes to lifesaving performance of life jackets. In order to support the proposal, a model and seven hypotheses were developed based on previous literatures and accidents reports. The hypotheses are compatibility of life jackets with CPV contributes to the lifesaving performance of a life jacket (H1); Inherently buoyant life jackets are not compatible to don inside the fully enclosed spaces of CPV (H2); Inherently buoyant life jackets are compatible to don in open spaces of CPV (H3), Inherently buoyant life jackets are compatible to don inside the partially enclosed spaces of CPV (H4), Inflatable life jackets are compatible to don inside the fully enclosed space of CPV (H5),: Inflatable life jackets are compatible to don in open space of CPV (H6); and Inflatable life jackets are compatible to don inside the partially enclosed spaces of CPV (H7).
