I would reconsider life lines in Fast Boating. In the Accident I wrote about. The boat was traveling at a high rate of speed when it rolled several times. If they were teathered, well you know.

Hi gang,
My post was not to hypothesize what has happened in the past, or to accuse any - as I am unaware of the facts! However I do know that boating accidents are becoming more prevalent and lives are being injured or worse yet lost. A simple way to possibly avoid these horrible situations would be to wear a life vest. Our boating community is a small family and we must use all the same wisdom, technology, and hard work that go into making our machines swift, safe so we may enjoy them for years to come with our families! Our thoughts are with all boaters and mariners upon the waters.

If you deem it respectful, post pictures of our lost friends sharing what they enjoyed I am sure they would be touched knowing all our thoughts are with them forever!

Regards,

Daredevil:

A teather is a line, connected from the boat to the life jacket.

a teather should be worn as well
It is a small line (pretty much a string) not a rope! It is attached to a kill switch and to your life jacket or belt and if you go out of the boat it will shut the boat off! It is not strong enough to hold you in the boat

You should always wear a teather with your life jacket when on plane

Dardevil, If you dont have one on your boat you need to put one on

Scandelous, Obviously you dont understand the use of a teather, and possably dont have one on your boat ,but you need one. and should have one attached to your body in any "fast boating"

The more i look at this the more i want to ask WHAT THE HECK ??

Lifeline is a type of life jacket not a line hooked to the boat

A tether is a string hooked to a kill switch

Apparently you are not educated in this terminology and i did not realise this at first reading your post

Consider yourself schooled
