I have been thinking about getting one for a while. Especially when its only me in the boat and running down the lake (only up to 36 mph but still enough). I read the Crappie Now-October: Crappie Basics: Life Changing Accident and reading the article and watching that video just reminded me that anything can go wrong anytime. Never really worn kill switch but now I really see why its needed. Thanks for the post OP

Do your own research and wear what you like - but wear something, even if you are an ex-lifeguard Red Cross WSI swimmer like me.
Did you suggest something like this one? Mustang Survival Elite Inflatable Life Vest with HIT
