A large percentage of the deaths, according to the USCG report, occur at anchor, while fishing. This is of course when inebriated fishermen must answer the call of nature. But the Illinois bill DOES NOT REQUIRE you to wear a life vest in this situation.
My state representative replied to my email within a hour indicating he would not support this bill. |
A better option would be to require lanyards when solo. At least a better chance of stopping a runaway boat.
I'm all for the protection the other boaters, but getting tired of big guy protecting me from myself. As long as my actions don't hurt anyone else, leave me the fugg alone! |
