Anyone have a problem with this?


No life jacket? no kill switch clipped to pilot? He can afford a
zodiak, he can afford a jacket and kill cable.


Ok, I'll give you the kill cable, if he falls of we don't want some
other poor ******* chopped up, but the life jacket; well he looks all
growed up to me, he can make that decision for himself.

Done, kill cable and he can kill himself, fair enough.
