09.21.2009 - IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU WEAR IT - BOAT SMART, WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET
Nine out of ten drownings occur in inland waters, most within a few feet of safety and involving boats under 20 feet long. Most drowning victims had a life jacket available, but chose not to wear it.
Boaters think they will have time to prepare for an accident, time to grab a life jacket and put it on. In reality, there often is no time. And once you're in the water, it may be too late. The fact is it only takes 60 seconds for an adult to drown, and 20 seconds for a child to drown.
Life jacket technology has come a long way - the bulky, ugly, old orange life jacket is a thing of the past. The new designs provide flexible panels, extra large armholes, a shaped fit, multiple pocket options, and more comfortable materials.
Absolute Outdoor wants to make sure you are fully prepared with a proper-fitting and comfortable life jacket when you go out on the water. Our Full Throttle and Onyx branded products will provide the comfort, safety, and reliability you need while boating, tubing, skiing, fishing, hunting, or paddling. Visit our websites to learn more.
