# Why do I need additional buoyancy on board?
A strong gust of wind, a big wave, a false step - there are many unplanned events that can cause a fall into the water. The shock and clothing don't make it easy to stay calm above the water.
Additional buoyancy can often immediately relieve a problematic situation in the water, and knowing that you have buoyancy with you just in case will make you feel much freer and more relaxed on board.
Also remember that other people may need help. By reaching out or throwing a buoyancy aid to the person from a safe distance, you can provide effective assistance without putting yourself in danger.
