Life Jackets for Children

"Was this law based on stats of how many 12 and under kids have drowned in NH in the last X amount of years or is this another law to help me protect my self like the seat belt law, oh yea there isnt one? In my recolection all the people drowning in the last 5 years, in Winni at least, have been over 40. So I ask why is there any age limit for life jackets?"

Caruso: You should ask Boat Guy 64 what he thinks of the law. I'll bet it saved a few lives last week when 4-kids got dumped into rough waters due to a catistrophic failure of a brand new Cobalt. Finally, the law isn't in place to protect you from yourself, it's in place to protect your kids from you.
