Good point. I think for most everyone a PFD is a good choice. The one boating accident I was involved in, not wearing a vest likely saved my life as I was able to narrowly swim down and away from the spinning prop as it went over my head. Had I been wearing a vest I would have likely been diced up good by that prop.

Nothing scares me more on the water than a fast moving boat bearing down on me, big surprise..eh?
