Thank god it didn't wipe out someone innocently sitting in another boat! It's accidents like these that we're all going to be paying for with higher insurance rates and legislation. I realize accidents can happen to the best of us, but it sure sounds like this isn't the first for this owner, and honestly, how hard is it to wear a lanyard?

I hope this will be a reminder to him (and everyone else) to start using their lanyard!

My boat has a kill switch that I use. But it seems like there should be one for the passenger too.

(This, by the way, is why you MUST carry spare lanyard caps...
)An even better deal would be to wire your passenger's lanyard to the "Man Over Board" button on your GPS.
