I interpret that to mean that the operator of the boat cannot transport a child under 5 alone..that there needs to be another adult with a child under 5.
It makes some sense to me that if the operator of the boat is paying attention to operating the boat he may not be able to properly supervise a little one and keep them safe.
As far as PFD's..this is not a bad thing in my opinion. I have seen sooo many little children riding on the bows of very bouncy boats. This lake is just too busy with big wakes to deal with,that can put kids in danger who ride the on bow. Granted , if they fall from the bow it could be deadly in itself but a life jacket increases the chance of a good outcome.
