Very sad...I saw an older man today(60's)launching behind PK dam with his daughter and I believe grand daughter in a canoe and he did not take or wear a PFD, however the girls had one on.

someone splain to me (after seeing 3 boatloads in less than 30 mins on fork, no jackets on) we have to wear seatbelts or we get a ticket, why do we not have a mandatory life jacket law?
and before you jump me about more gov. intrusion, if you are so stupid as to get on a boat and go with no life jacket then maybe we need to thin the heard anyway?

Some are a little crazy like all people must wear one if the boat is less than XX feet. My little bass tracker is 16' 1" and I wear a PFD when running around but when up on the trolling motor fishing I take it of. Its not the most comfortable or easiest to fish with. One day I will get around to buying one of the fancy lightweight ones but they are a bit pricey.

At my local lake on Sunday I saw a pontoon boat with about 10 people on it cruising by at about 25 mph or so. On the very front was a guy sitting on the front edge with his legs dangling off. Eventually, as sad as it is, he very well may thin himself out.....
