Wow truly amazing what James and Russ did  ,from what I hear that's the kind of guy he is.It's so simple to put on your life vests but people still choose not to I don't get it.An accident happens in a slit second you don't have time to think.For a few seconds before you take off could be the difference between life and death.At least he had the sense to get the child ready I'm sure he doesn't leave the dock without it now.

i had to dodge an unmanned boat at full throttle on Texoma about 10 years ago. unfortuantley the driver didnt survive. Pretty scary when a boat is coming at you without a driver i must say.

This guy was very lucky! Crazy that the kiddo didn't have one on. I know a fella that almost lost his leg, due to no life jacket and the kill switch wasn't hooked up. I don't wear one while im fishing, but rest assured, when my big motor is running, i have a life jacket on and my kill switch hooked up.

Read this story yesturday, and I cant quit thinking about it. My daughter who is 7 now, goes with me a few times a season. We both wear are jackets..and thinking about it now, not sure if kill switch was attached everytime. Kinda disappointed in myself and my bold attitude to think it wont happen to me. This story has hit my house ..not close to home. Many thanks for the read SnakeEyes.
