Any deaths that result from not wearing a PFD is gene pool maintenance.  I'm always sorry for the survivors of the deceased, but in reality we're all better off without those defective genes.

I understand the point.  However defective genes would be a lifelong defect.  Many a gene-healthy teenager and 20 somethings will eventually gain respect for the fragility of life and start donning things like PFD's, helmets, seatbelts.  This exponentially increases after gaining a sense of the responsibility of family.  I well remember mother harping the seatbelt issue.  It eventually happened and I am grateful to her.  It does no harm to harp the PFD issue here.
