Doug.. As a medic, I’m a full time seatbelt and life jacket advocate. Nothing is more pathetic than arriving on an accident scene and realizing the victims didn’t even try to prevent their injuries… or worse, their death.
There is no one within earshot of me that doesn’t hear me tell them to “buckle up” or “put a life jacket on”. Most who know me finish the sentence with me.
Just because someone is an expert driver or swimmer doesn’t mean they’re safe from injury or death.

Each year, about 700 people nationwide die in boating-related accidents.

I’m supposed to get excited about .0000002 percent of the population?  This idiocy of trying to ‘save even one life’ is burdening us with more restrictive laws every day. Ironically many of the people that are advocating ‘saving every life’ are also concerned about population growth.

The Supreme Court is a bunch of black robed tyrants

Eh, he’s not advocating any laws except the laws of physics and biology, doc.  You fall in the water, you get too tired to swim, you drown.  Might be smart to put something on to keep your mouth and nose out of the drink.

I wonder what % of boating deaths are related to alcohol.  My first guess would be at least 75%.

Isn’t the answer obvious?  We have to ban all boats < 21’.  If it saves just one life it would be worth it, know?

no?
