I certainly wouldn't do that. But that has nothing to do with boat safety.

I’ve had 4 friends drown because they didn’t “need” to wear it during normal

Don’t have your family call services to sweep the lake.

Lakes can be extremely dangerous if the weather turns. Life jackets

People who don’t wear life jackets are morons. Parents who don’t put them on their kids are super morons.

So you're the guy who gets invited boating

We go up for a day most summers and I have never gotten in the water

It's brutal. It's a decent fresh water SCUBA site.
