What a liberal thing to say. Because 1 person out of tens of thousands who ride the boat took it upon himself to jump off the boat, we need to make sure everyone wears a life jacket.

Who the frick videos instead of doing something. Social fricking media is literally the death of kids.

The video I saw was a young man who apparently didn’t know the jumper. He was videoing them having fun and then he sees someone jump in the water. He’s nowhere near the side of the boat and there’s many people between him and the side. What do you want him to do? I’m sure in the 10 seconds of video, he assumed the guy was going to be ok and didn’t comprehend that he would die.

Sounds like what could be in the coming lawsuit for a payout.

There are so many stories about people trying to save people in the water that end up with just more deaths. It’s never a good idea to go after them unless you absolutely know what the hell you are doing and have a damn good plan, the best option is to throw a life ring or something and get the boat stopped as fast as possible. Getting in the water is hardly ever a good idea. I’m not sure what people here wanted from the drunk arse people on the boat, them getting in the water is almost as stupid as jumping off it for a dare in the first place.

Still, with alcohol and boating you would think the booze cruise people would make them wear them to avoid situations like this.

I fail to see what makes you think wanting people on a boat to wear life jackets is a liberal thing to say. That's just wanting things like this to not happen
