Fourth paragraph down reads:
"Compressed gas / Cylinders
Camping gas, oxygen/propane/nitrogen cylinders, and fire extinguishers are not accepted in carry-on or checked baggage.
Exception: scuba tanks / oxygen tanks / paintball cylinders can be accepted in checked baggage provided the customer can demonstrate that the cylinder is either empty or contains less than 40.6 PSI (280 KPA) of non-flammable, non-toxic gas.
Exception: O2 cylinders for the operation of mechanical limbs are acceptable."

Look down the list for compressed gases. Just past 'brass knuckles'.
You can pack the PFD in your luggage, just not the compressed gas cylinder.
