PFD's

Thanks for all the great stories, I had to learn from a but chewin after I pull up on boat crash in Shark Bayou this past fall.
Long story short, come around a corner see a boat way up in the marsh grass, three kids mother and father standing there, were all wet and muddy. They were comin around the corner, all had life vest on, father, (driver of the boat) was not wearing kill switch lanyard Swerved to miss another boat probably going too fast all were thrown out the boat. The boat circled missin them all, and ran aground. One little boy was in shock. Helped them get going again, had to pull the boat from the grass.
Followed them in to the Ramp at the point, when mother got out the boat walkin to truck with kids, she fell her leg buckled, nearly compound fracture. Her leg was broke the whole time she did not even know.

When we left the scene a good friend from Carencro chewed me good, for not wearing my PFD and killl switch lanyard, but he wore his the whole time we were running.

From that day this fall my boat will not move with anyone in it with out kill switch and PFD, and I am trying real hard to convince others to do the same.

No need to die doing something ya love.
