The way I see it it's ok within reason. Yes I was wearing a life vest with anti-prop technology.

Great picture!! I don't think I'd let my admiral at the helm though, she's the benefactor of my will and insurance policies.:wow::wow:

BTW, this could be a great calendar picture. Make sure you submit it.
 
The big question is could you live with the results if on that one in a million chance you were WRONG.
I will always error on the side of safety, but that's just my take.[/QUOTE]

Obviously, if a tragic accident occurred, I would be devastated. However, its a dangerous world and I'm not willing to walk around everyday covered in bubble wrap and never have fun. You can still be safe while taking calculated risks. Certainly, I try to be safe and keep those around me safe. I do understand accidents certainly happen, and can happen to me as easy as they can you. I like to believe if I'm engaging in "risky" behavior, I'm a little more attentive, but you never know, as it can happen in a blink of an eye. I certainly don't judge anyone for prohibiting it, but for my boat, I feel the enjoyment for those catching rays at idle speed greatly outweighs the miniscule risk of disaster at idle speed.

What kind of prop. tec do you use for your legs ,and head my brother-in law fell off the front of a boat in FT. Myers fla a few years ago (20) and the prop split his head like a melon ,No prop tec. protection!...Rip
 
Truth be known it's probably much more dangerous to drive while using a cell phone. It's
all in how you look at it. If you'll accept the consequences then do it.
I just hope nothing goes wrong for any of us, what ever we are doing.
 
Stick a fork in this thread already.
 
As said in other threads nobody is holding a gun to your head to read this. :smt001
