I am sorry for the loss of a family member for those that still remain. This is an unfortunate accident. Who knows what the cause was and all that transpired. A life vest maybe could have saved his life or caused the loss of it. I have been on the water my whole life and have had a life vest save my life and almost take it. Once again i am sorry for the loss of a person a human being.

Good point. I think for most everyone a PFD is a good choice. The one boating accident I was involved in, not wearing a vest likely saved my life as I was able to narrowly swim down and away from the spinning prop as it went over my head. Had I been wearing a vest I would have likely been diced up good by that prop.

Nothing scares me more on the water than a fast moving boat bearing down on me, big surprise..eh?

Haven't heard anything for a while... did they find the guy?

Hope he's OK.
