I have raced snowmobiles and stock cars,and used all safety devices available to me and there is no excuse for not using a simple safety device as clipping on a cord that can save your life!! or somebody Else's. USE IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE.

I did that once. Kill switch would not have helped. Openned my first beer as I stepped onto the dock from the boat after a Poker Run. Ambulance ride and ER and stitches; and back to the Poker Run Banquet on pain killers. Worst part was the 100 mile boat ride back home to the trailers the next day in the rain.

Getting better about wearing mine almost all the time. Life jacket too. Always when running hard . When you hear of other peoples misfortunes, we all need to be more safety concience. This summer I was in a poker run and My boat was the only ones wearing PFD's. It was the fastest . Had a guy come up and ask if we were planning on going skiing
