Default Swim platforms: The Safer Boat by Design

If it happened in cold water, or while alone, its more
serious. In the cases above, it was cause for a lot of teasing for a
long time
afterward, but no one died. ...


It's happened on the LIS a few times. People go over in cold water, but
on a calm day and can't get back on board. It's a really sad way to
go....a swim platform or at least a reachable ladder can save a life.
I've heard that in some cases at night it was call of nature, but it's
generally a word of mouth story. I doubt families would be interested
in releasing such a detail.
