ok, they make you wear a life jacket to save a life ! but (yes there's always a but) that comes from the same lawmakers that think it's ok for the gov. to subsidise the tobacco companies and kill people every day go figure !!!

It's just a stepping stone for the next level. PFD's for everybody on every boat at all times. I kind of see there point for this new law ( as long as it goes no further ), in cold water your extremeties shut down pretty quick and a life jacket could really help. But if and when they take the next step of this law, where does it end? More people drown swimming at ocean beaches than on boats, are they going to make the thousands of swimmers at Jones Beach wear life jackets before going in to bodysurf or cool off ? Exaggerated, but the same basic idea.
