Personal Watercraft Insurance, Voiding Hypothermia
The risks of hypothermia: Just because the sun is shining and the air is warm, it does not mean that the winter chill is gone from the water. If you fall into cold water – anything less than 70 degrees F – you run the risk of hypothermia. In fact, swim failure can happen in as fast as three minutes and exposure more than 30 minutes can ultimately lead to heart failure and death. Children are especially at risk so make sure they are wearing lifejackets and take precautions on your spring boating trips and bring along extra clothing, warm blankets and wet gear.
