What's your point? The "authorities" also haven't ruled out suicide,
heart attack, seizure, diabetic coma, a fall, and on and on.

I should have known better than to post something relating to boating
here.


I should have known you aren't bright enough to understand. It's the
tone and tact with which you posted, quoting a small part of the big
picture. And the quote was just plain silly, no matter who made it.- Hide quoted text -

I didn't think so, but anyway.. I am sitting here wondering why most
boats I have been on have a "dead man's throttle". I think I will
start a thread.


The accident I reported is a prime reason for the kill switch w/
lanyard. Many (most?) States require them on boats and PWC's. Even
the 5 hp outboard I have has one.
