90+% of fatalities on the water are due to drowning. 90+% would have survived if they were wearing a life Jacket. It's time we change the way we look at life jackets, start buying ones our family will wear, and then - insist they do!

NO ONE...gets to sail on my boat without wearing a life jacket. NO LIFE JACKET...no sailing. Unless you are down below and not in danger of going overboard. We also have tethers and jack lines for rough seas. Great series! Thank You

I Love it! Thank you so much for commenting.

Young men think it's "uncool" to wear even an inflatable PFD while recreationally boating. I shared that sentiment as a young fool convinced that I'd live forever.

Tough stuff Ol Buddy because “it’s never going to happen to me” and “I am a great swimmer” but I am now wearing my jacket most of the time (getting better) and asking all my passengers to do the same.

@boattrainingonline6561 Год назад

Outstanding Tcon! I appreciate your comment and I appreciate you! This is a tough subject and I get it, but the alternative can be horrible. The little girl in Haulover Inlet was rescued by a jet ski so there was a happy ending on that case. If boaters buy comfortable lifejackets, they will get worn a lot more. Thanks again Brother.

People who drown without wearing “Life Jackets” never intended to enter the water in the first place! That is the number ONE thing that I stress to others on my boat. If you end up in the water, it’s because of an accident! AND, if that accident involves an injury, and/or cold water, you’ll probably take a deep breath UNDER WATER! The deadly GASP RESPONSE. You drown in seconds. There is no coming up for the third time. It’s over that fast. It doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympic gold medal swimmer.

Exactly!!!

Thank you! We wear 'em, and nobody rides with us without wearing one.

Your video on how to handle a person overboard had a lot of great advice. Mark the place on your GPS. One person should point to the person in the water so that the captain can maneuver the boat for a rescue. Your video showed the proper way to point so that the captain can see where he is pointing. Problem: he wasn't wearing a life jacket.

@stevenhs8821 Год назад

When kids are little, I tell them I should be able to pick you up and shake you by the neck of the jacket and your jacket won't come off. But I never do it.

This was/is a fantastic piece of work...and IMHO you presented it in a way that perfected this important message. I am alive today because I wore, not stowed, a life jacket...on water emergencies do not foretell themselves...they happen in the blink of an eye and at seemingly the most inopportune times. Well done, sir.

@diverd2162 12 дней назад

At least have everyone done PFDs when entering hazardous waterways and let's not forget the throwable type IV that is required to be immediately available

@bpaulus671 27 дней назад

We wear Spinlock DeckVest Lite, comfortable and light. Interestingly, the blue ones have uscg approved labels, (type II, I believe) the white ones don't. Same model, identical. I have bad discs in my neck, so having something heavy or bulky around the neck is more likely to be not worn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience Capt.!

Good video with an excellent point, well taken. I'll renew my commitment to life jackets & vests. I do wear one regularly but every once and a while, and probably too often, I'll forget. Thanks for the reminder!

@boattrainingonline6561 Год назад

Gary, thank again for your comment. You're the best!

You deff made your point, and I agree. I bet you have seen some real terrible things and I can appreciate what your saying. Again, thank you.

@barryjones7341 21 день назад

Really like this. I have a 65ft Hatteras Motor Yacht. When and where are PFDs appropirate on a larger boat? As of right now, my rules are when under weigh no one 16 and younger out of the deck house (fore or aft decks) without a PFD on...regardless of how many dolphins there may be!. Also when leaving and returning to the dock, my line handlers must have PFDs on. Ditto when launching or recovering the dingy or doing dingy work. Any suggestions on doing better?

@plainsimple442 2 месяца назад

I do not see that the vest that you link is Coastguard approved?

@boattrainingonline6561 2 месяца назад

I'm not sure why it isn't in the description but level 70 PFDs are approved under series 160.264 for inherently buoyant devices or 160.276 for fully or partially inflatable devices. Level 70 PFDs meet the requirements in ANSI/CAN/UL 12402-5 for a Level 70 PFD. All PFDs must be evaluated and tested by a Coast Guard recognized Laboratory.

A word about rescuing a swimmer in distress. I live on Lake Huron. Virtually Every year people drown within 10 miles of my home. Who were they? They were the RESCUERS who entered the water without a PFD for the person in distress OR for themselves. Ironically, quite often the rescuers drown while those in distress survive. For an unbelievable news story, search Anchor Drowning Legoland Unbelievable

@Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd Год назад

I meant to say that SOME were the rescuers.
