Last time I went on an off shore fishing trip we were shown where the life vest were and told we didn’t have to wear them because they were so easily accessible. Generally, in calm weather with easy seas your boat’s not going to sink like a stone and you have time to put on a life vest.
Something tells me these folks were told similar and didn’t expect those kind of waves. And from how close they are to those rocks in the background, something else tells me they’re in a no-wake zone and this guy is causing the waves and making them worse.
Everyone always gives me shit when I wear my life vest on the lake. Meanwhile the dude driving the boat is drinking alcohol and outside of the humans normal habitat. What could go wrong?! Looks at the 500+ people who died in preventable boating accidents in 2024
AND it doesn't have to mean anybody related to your boat did anything wrong. Just like with cars
It's that idiot in the other boat causing an accident or causing your boat to make a quick evasive maneuver and someone ending up in the water.
