The Great Life Jacket Debate

[Menace Marine]

I believe 100% that life jackets should be worn at speed. What speed I don't really know. It blows me away that we still here stories of guys testing boats or props or drives whatever with no jackets on. It is a test. You don't know what the results will be. Anything could go wrong.
That being said I don't believe it should be mandatory. It is a personal choice and not something a grown adult needs to be told to do.
As far as the license issue I don't believe it should be required. I'm all for discounted insurance if you have taken a safety course. But I don't believe getting government involved will make people safer boaters.
We are all adults here. It is up to us to make safety a priority. Use your best judgement and know your equipment and surroundings.
