Doll Suit

The Doll suit is a life jacket for children to accompany them in water activities. The Doll suit adopts an inflatable life jacket structure, which can be stored as a shoulder doll at ordinary times, which increases children's willingness to carry, stabilizes the anxiety of children on boats, reduces the problem of children's resistance to wearing life jackets, and then improves the survival rate of water accidents.
The instructional illustrations on the Doll suit and buckles attract children to learn how to wear a life jacket and reduce the problem of drowning caused by improper wear. Passenger ships and cruise ship operators can give Doll suits to children as boarding gifts to improve the safety and order of water activities and create a good customer experience

/ Issue discovery 1 / ( Lack of awareness of water safety )

1. In Yak 4 Incident, The eight children who died were not equipped with life jackets as required by law Experts have indicated that in the "Lamma IV" incident, 8 children lost their lives. The report also mentioned that the vessel did not comply with the legal requirement to provide child-sized life jackets, preventing passengers from properly fitting children with appropriate life jackets.

2. In Phuket Boat Capsizing Incident The majority of the casualties were found not to have fastened the two safety buckles at the crotch of their life jackets

Gansu Dangchang Red Cross Relief Team member Zhao Liangming found that the vast majority of the victims had not fastened the two safety buckles at the crotch of their life jackets. Some life jackets even lacked these two straps, rendering such life jacket usage ineffective. He stated that when the victims jumped into the sea from the bow of the ship, the life jackets quickly floated up and, following the body, got stuck around the neck, leading to difficulty in breathing and resulting in drowning.

/ Issue discovery 2 / ( Do people who drown in a boat wear life jackets? )

1. 61% of recreational boat accidents involve people not wearing life jackets

2. 90% of people who died from accidental drowning were not wearing life jackets

/ Issue discovery 3 / ( Children are not taught the importance of wearing life jackets from an early age )

1. Many studies indicate that life jackets are not considered fashionable, especially among teenagers and young people, who may face social exclusion when using life jackets.

2. For fishermen, using life jackets is perceived as a lack of experience and a 'social disgrace.' Not wearing life jackets is considered a display of masculinity.
