Water / Boating Safety

Don't drink and boat, but if you do, have a designated driver. 
Also, the following key points will decrease boating and 
water related accidents, injuries, and deaths. 

*	Wear a life jacket. 70 percent of persons who died in a 
boating accident would be alive today, if they had worn 
a life jacket;
*	Use the ignition safety switch, commonly called a "kill 
switch" to stop the engine if you fall overboard. Don't be 
stranded, or run over by your boat;
*	Learn how to swim, and 
*	Take a Boater Education course from Texas Parks and 
Wildlife: It could save your life.
