>One of the first safety rules that I learned was to put on my PFD before >I even approach the water. Even more important, wear a seat belt while driving to the put-in. We had to go to the national sea kayaking forum last weekend - past one fatal and one near fatal vehicle accident, plus also the Paddlewiser who recently had a vehicle accident. The near fatal accident happened an hour before we got to it - a milk tanker up a tree!!! Imagine something like a Mack truck with the front 15-20 foot up a tree!!!!! Wear your seat belt while driving. Alex . .
