My contention is that PFDs are unsafe at the speeds prohibited by HB162—(not that those speedsters wear them anyway—they have to look "cool").
At the bottom of this post, you can view a video showing a different "Unintended Consequence",
sort-of-related to this thread.
Quiz:
You're invited to a cliff dive. You elect:
1) A Class III PFD from K-Mart.
2) A $500 boat racer vest.
3) A $200 kite-boarder vest.
4) A $500 boat racer vest with helmet.
5) None of the above.
Please make a quiz-based comment and check out the video of this "rescue":
