    "There is certainly the possibility that the extra flotation could instead trap someone against that canopy and cause them to drown," one former captain said.https://usat.ly/2uH7spX

        Those boat operators were totally irresponsible.

        So let me get this straight, you rather take a chance without a life jacket, and risk certain death, than to take a chance at floating, with a possibility that you could become trapped under the canopy (and certain death)? Maybe someone should conduct a hazard analysis.

        Doubtful the winds were at 75 mph, that boat never should have been out touring around!!!

        Would they be worse than - actually- drowning to death?

        I always thought "safety comes first" when venturing in open waters.

        Hell if every body on the duck boat drank all the water in the lake no-one would have drowned and they could all have walked to shore. Sort of like Moses parting the Red Sea. How's this for a possibility.

        Life jackets are designed to save lives definitely could have made a difference. Isn’t it a law that people are wearing them before they shove off? It is in California‼️😢
