Many parents do not understand
the importance of having their children wear life jackets.
They feel as if they are capable of rescuing their child should
they fall overboard.
The best way for a child to understand the importance of
a life jacket is to wear one yourself. This will help set
a positive example for them and give them another reason to
wear a life jacket.
For children aged 1 to 14 drowning is only second to motor
vehicle accidents in non-intentional injury related deaths.
The risk to children must be taken seriously, and the best
way to avoid this is to have them wear a life jacket at all
times while out on the water. |
