That just doesn't make much sense to me. I have fallen off my ski one time without a life jacket on and I swore it would the last. It was calm flat water and I was only about 50 yds from shore. My bad, but I was on my X2 and didn't figure I would fall. (by the way it was a test ride after I got it runnin, doh!:banghead: )
My point was that I don't understand how somebody could just go out riding and not wear a vest, you are taking your life into your own hands no matter how good you can swin.

In 30mph wind small craft advisory conditions no less.
Feel bad for his family, same as if he jumped off a bridge or something.

i am with yamaslut on this. natural selection. if you are not wearing a pfd, which is the law, then you get what happens to you. 42 years old and not smart enough to wear a pfd. i am suprised that he lived as long as he did.

i agree as well. if they're that stupid, then oh well. it sucks but its hard to have sympathy for someone who's asking for trouble.

Link to local TV newscast on the incident. Contains a written story, and a video link. Press play.

As these links tend to expire, let me note that two 2000 Kawi Ultra's were the crafts. With NH registration numbers, which would appear to have been issued at least in 2004 or later.

They seprated as one needed gas. They were riding two up.
