The shore-swimmer, Charles Philip "Flip" Hollstein, is listed on the flight manifest as weighing 160lbs. He is said to have worn an infant life jacket, calling it "tight." That PFD looks rather different than the adult life jacket several others wore during the ditching aftermath. (See this picture.)

It seems less likely that a 220lbs person--which is the weight the manifest lists for Fuddy--could get into the tight opening for an infant in a life vest.

There is no way. No way to get your shoulders inside an infant life vest. It’s a lie. I couldn’t get mine into a toddler size. Infant would be smaller.
