  • Good thing it wasn't a cigarette boat, those could also be bad for your health. . .

  • Back in the day, we had a 25' pontoon boat, and took a bunch of family friends out swimming at an island

    on the lake. A storm suddenly started to come up, and a married couple/friends had their fancy sportie car with the convertible top down. So,

    we started back. The storm hit before we got back, flooded their car, boats were scrambling past us, our boat had 11 people on it,

    we were slow. I already had everybody with jackets on when the storm was eminent.

    Now, why the hell didn't the boat operator have everybody get their life jackets on? What...the...hell... is up with that?

    We were with friends in Missouri - Table Rock lake. It isn't small. DAMMIT - the dam is over 6,000 ' long. The maximum depth is

    220'.  It's area is 67 sq miles. Why in the hell would any boat operator not have everybody have their lifejackets on at the approach

    of any storm???

  • They had life jackets available apparently, but the dumb butt tourists didn't put them on.

    Yes that's what I heard reported.

  • I read that 1) the captain pointed them out but said they wouldn't need them and 2) there is debates within the industry about whether they would hurt or help

  • It would have saved some lives no doubt.  I'll bet most didn't even know how to swim.

  • Again, it sounds like there is debate between people familiar with these boats about whether it would help. It sounds like the roof / top part is somewhere people can get stuck. A flotation device could make them more likely to get stuck 

  • oh so people got trapped in the boat. i tjought they got out but drowned. tjose boats just dont pass the eye test. anyone else feel the same? that hull just screams rock me from side to side. i get it they werent meant for ocean travel, "obviously".....but i would be unconfortable on a river in those things. 

    if a boat doesnt have a keel id better some multi hull sht going on or im good.
