I haven't TT in several years but I would not be down for wearing a jacket... plus, once you get around the first bend you can just remove it and snap it to your tube

Assume nothing. Make everyone wear life jackets. Problem solved.

So, punish the majority because a few people want to float the river even though they can't swim?

a safety precaution is not a punishment.

if you choose to take it off, that is on you.

I think this will hurt TT IMO. And if I lose the jacket, I have to pay for that as well!!

I assumed they gave everyone a life jacket that they could choose to wear or not. Is that not the case?

the 'new' american way

What?

First of all, I still argue if you can't swim, what the frick are you doing on a river.

Second of all, until around 1940s, customers had approximately zero protection, and even earlier than that both customers and employees were working in terribly dangerous conditions. Read the Concrete Jungle, among other titles. So technically it would be the "old" American way.
