"Why We Should All Wear A PFD!"
I'm glad he's OK, but what's with the "We." Based on the story it is clear that HE should always wear a pfd, as should most people that are not comfortable being in the water or cannot recognize the conditions that warrant wearing one.
There are many conditions where I'll wear a pfd - running at night, or alone/with inexperienced boaters, bad weather, etc.
There are also many conditions where the risk is minimal to me and I don't need one.
OTOH, the story should be a wake up call to people that are not comfortable in the water. Poor technique and panic can doom someone in under 5 minutes, like it almost did in this case.
