Terrible news. Wear the jackets kids! Ones that are rated for the speed of the boat! Lifeline, SRP etc.

Nate,

I think this is the best time to talk about things like Lifejackets. Lessons like this are written in blood and the pain needs to be real for people to take it seriously. I don't think its disrespectful to learn from accidents, in fact I think the opposite. If I were to die in a way that could have been avoided I would want people to learn form my mistakes.

Crashes like this are absolutely horrible and as sad as can be. But we need to learn from them. Year after year there are deadly accidents at boat events and still I see so many people moving fast in boats without simple life saving devices.

So I second Jrider, Please Please wear life jackets out there. So many reasons why they help. at a minimum it could make the recovery easier.

RIP.......

Mike
