Very tragic and preventable. Wear your life jackets folks!

Horrible.

Extremely sad to know that life jackets could of possibly saved there life's.

sad deal

wow that's terrible.

How awful and sad!!

Sad indeed.

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.

Sad situation, RIP.

I have had several family member drown, wear your life jacket, its not worth it.

praying for the family

Started to read some comments at the end of the article and then had to stop-man we've got some sick people in this world.

RIP

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?

there has been some talk of changing the PFD laws most states changed to increase the age from say 7 years old to between 12-17. 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.

just a sad sad thing

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.....

Always hate to read news like this. Prayers up for surviving family members and friends. The Lord Jesus Christ has control.

Tragic, put perdictable...Four people in one canoe?

Renter should have rented them two canoes!

I have a real problem with rental boats of any kind without proper training.
