Safety First
Boating is a wonderful recreation for the entire family and is an important part of many peoples' lives. And, by following a few simple safety guidelines, boating can be a very enjoyable and safe pastime.
If you are operating a boat, do not consume alcohol. Just as when operating an automobile, it is illegal to operate a watercraft under the influence of alcohol. Even if no accident occurs, a boat operator who is found under the influence of alcohol can face serious charges.
Wear a life preserver or at least make sure there are enough floatation devices onboard for every passenger. About 85% of boating accident victims who drown are not wearing life jackets. Preparation is key. Obey all the rules of the water. These rules may vary depending on what type of body of water you are on and what type of boat you are operating.
Following these guidelines significantly increases the likelihood that your boating experience will be fun and safe.
