car720 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I am sad for this woman and her family however I wanted to use this opportunity to speak about something that happened recently that could possibly save someone else's life. A few weeks ago circumstances forced me to send my step daughter to Bali for 3 days. I was in contact with her every day. Before she left I asked her if she could swim and she said no. On the second day she sent me a photo of herself on a surf board saying that the local guide was giving her surfing lessons. I am neither attaching blame to her nor him but both should have had more sense. Many of these accidents can be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some poorly designed life vests will float a body face down not on it's back as a properly designed one will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
