What would a lifejacket have done?
If he had a life jacket with a harness and the harness was clipped to the
life lines, he would not have been lost over the side. Most people that I
know use the safety harness and life jackets when they are off shore. I
always wear the Mustang SOS inflatable life jacket when I am on the Great
Lakes.

Er, ummm... it's not a good idea to clip yourself to lifelines. You should
use jacklines. They're designed for that. Lifelines aren't.

Sorry Capt. JG, It's my bad terminology. I did mean to say Jackline not
Lifeline.
