Personal Watercraft Insurance, Prevent Boating Tragedies.
It is also vital to prevent boating tragedies by ensuring that everyone knows what to do if they fall or get knocked overboard. Here is what to do to survive being man overboard:
*Wear a life jacket onboard – kids and adults – if you want to beat the, as it decreases risk.
*Protect your head and face as you go overboard.
*Tread water – especially important if you aren’t wearing a life jacket – or float to conserve energy, and keep your head above water. Find out how to do the survival float (also called the dead man’s float).
*If the water is cold, the Heat Escape Lessening Position (HELP) will protect the core of your body by retaining as much heat as possible.
