Boating and life jackets
When we lived in New England, we lived on a large lake and we enjoyed taking our boat out for a spin whenever we had a chance. Unfortunately, at least once a year we would read in the local newspaper that someone had drowned in the area due to excessive alcohol consumption which resulted in reckless boating. The law does not require everyone to wear a life jacket, simply that there are enough on the boat for each one. I think that is fairly useless; everyone should be wearing their life jacket – they should put it on before they get in the boat and take it off only after they have gotten off of the boat.
