I also started taking a safer approach last year. Whenever we stop for swimming etc. i say "Keys out" and remove the keys from the ignition. My "crew" now listens for this as a way, before anyone is in the water, to ensure the boat can't be started. And of course "Keys in" when getting ready to start so that all are aware.

And I too am very saddened by any accident of this nature. Can't image what the driver and family are going through.
