From the boating days, the law was to have one vest per person on board. Plus a paddle, bail bucket, horn or whistle and a paddle.
I do support 3 out of 4 (no need for the bucket). Like TD said, the chances of the whole tube or toon going flat all at once would be a freak happening.
On stillwater, I always have a vest at reach. On rivers I wear it, but rivers isn't so much about your Vessel sinking, but rather running away from you.
I have seen a gentleman get a ticket at Mantua for no vest...I believe it was like $50. Always thought it was no big deal to take one, even those $10. orange ones count.
