Lifejackets save lives, but there are other ways to prevent a fatality due to falls overboard—reducing fall hazards, man-overboard alarms, recovery devices, training crew on resuscitation and treatment. You can find more details about those measures here at the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/67/wr/mm6716a2.htm
In John's interview, he mentions using a Kent lifejacket. This life jacket is specially designed for commercial fishermen. You can read more about it here: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2015-119/default.html
