"You guys forgot the point:How Boating accidents Happen!" - Steve Steakley

Yes, I couldn't agree more...The powerboat in the background looks to have to many occupants in the bow and nobody is wearing life jackets. The people in that boat should follow the example of the responsible boater in the foreground who is wearing the latest Mark II Mod 1 double chambered, self righting, personal flotation system while obviously performing a corrective maintenance action on her vessel's outdrive. Thanks Steve for pointing out the inherent dangers associated with boating and for providing graphic real-world solutions on the proper use of PFD's. If you have any more examples/photos of people properly wearing the Mark II Mod 1 PFD, please don't hesitate posting them, because boating safety is everyone's business.

What boat in the background? Oh, that one. I didn't see it until you pointed it out, Don.

BOATING accidents?? Hell, I was staring at that and had an accident right here in my chair--some frying pan ran into my head! <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
