Fasten Up: It’s The Law!
, 05 08th, 2009
While some people don’t recognize this, on most bodies of water, it’s illegal for children and sometimes adults to not wear a life jacket while on a boat. In truth, there’s no real reason not to wear a life jacket when boating other than the occasional discomfort. But the discomfort is offset by the safety the life jacket provides. For children, who aren’t strong swimmers, a life jacket is essential and in a lot of place, it’s illegal for children under a certain age to be on a boat without a life jacket.
Adults should also wear a life jacket because we never know when we might hit our head falling off the boat, or become incapacitated in a manner that prevents us from swimming. Amongst life jackets, it’s important to choose a reliable life jacket that also provides comfort to the wearer. A Mustang life jacket for example is an excellent life jacket that provides reliability and comfort. Adults might even consider a Mustang automatic inflatable jacket.
