Although I strongly agree that it is wise for a child under 12 (or a person of any age for that matter) to wear a pfd, why do we need to legislate it? The article states that there have been no issues without the law, so why do we need the law?

For the record, I always wear my pfd when on my PWC, even though I am not required to by law...and I am well, well, well over the age of 12!
