So where are the life jackets on the participants ???
Looks like all the safety meetings we have had as organizers over the years still hasn't sunk in.
From the pictures I have seen it looks like NOT wearing life jackets was the rule.
Sorry for the rant but this is totally UNEXCEPTABLE at an organized event.

PS- I fixed a few things in your post when I quoted it.

It is not acceptable to many people and after sitting through many meetings on this i cant believe anyone would think it is ok duriing an organized event to go without the saftey jackets
Is my oppinion but shared by many, and most (not all) poker run producers now a day have made it manditory

My point exactly why was it not a rule.
It is not acceptable to many people and after sitting through many meetings on this i cant believe anyone would think it is ok during an organized event to go without the safety jackets.
Is my opinion but shared by many, and most (not all) poker run producers now a day have made it manditory.

Congrats. You are welcome to tow your boat down for one of our runs anytime. We certainly won't try to discourage you from wearing a life jacket!

I personally endorse the use of PFD's during these type of events on certain boats and on my own boat. I was fortunate enough to make the first half of this run on a 48 Fountain Express Cruiser and was more than comfortable not wearing a PFD. I did however where my seat belt for the second half of the run in the heli.
I certainly respect your opinion and at the same time we respect the personal choice of our of participants to wear them or not.
