That's the problem I have with those statistics, the "pro life jacket" people always want to assume that wearing a life jacket would have saved the victim. And that is not always the case. We don't wear life jackets while recreational boating. I only ask people to wear one if they are very young or can't swim. Wearing a life jacket is a situation by situation call. It's hard to imagine tht these three guys could have all missed seeing this bearing down on them. I can understand how the tug operator might have missed seeing them. According to the news story, the tug was pushing nine barges. What size barges, I don't know, but that far back, it is unlikely the barge operator could see anything in front of him, and, if he could see the small boat, it isn't likely he could have stopped in time or even changed the direction of that train of barges significantly. Perhaps operators of pusher barge trains should be required to post a forward lookout on the bow of the most forward barge. Good point... or maybe they should be restricted in how many barges they can push in a confined space. We have a bit of a similar controversy up here on 'road trains'... that is 18 wheelers pulling two trailers, rather than one. Lots of safety concerns from the public. How is a two trailer truck rig similar to a tug pushing barges, little buddy? Kevin.. keep quiet. The men are discussing an important safety concern. If we get around to preventing broken arms in pre-teens, we'll advise you. Poor LoogyFlaJimLarry, et al...reduced to faking the IDs of others in order to get a bit of attention. |

For the 27th time (man, you are slow off the start) Kevin Noble of Snellville Ga (reputed to be 54 years old) is the short tempered, cocky engineering technician who has such a poor reputation (something to do with broken arms) that he feels the need to steal the ids of decent posters. He also fancies himself as a bit of a badass...an adult version of the Karate Kid. |

Did he really break someone's arms??? |
