No one on the list has died because of a missed roll, lack of flotation devices, lack of warm gear, poor planning etc. Just because we are not dead yet is not a good reason to not use due care in all aspects of kayaking. I don't have a problem with people taking risks FOR THEMSELVES, I do have a problem with people who impose their risks on ME. If I am behind you on the freeway, the biggest risk is to me if your boat comes off. You are not the one who might have to swerve to miss the boat on the road, or worse have a boat stuck through your windshield. Your problem would be dealing with the mess after the fact. I don't have to have it happen to ME to know that a risk is real. michael gulfstream_at_flinet.com wrote: > > All of the following verbiage is undermined by the fact that no one on this > list has lost a boat due to unavoidable mechanical failure. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Nov 29 1998 - 08:41:07 PST
