In Response To: Re: Kayak safety (Lee)

Lee, I think it has to do with the nature of our craft, and the consequences of a mistake. Mistakes in bigger boats happen all the time, but the likelihood is in my mind less that you will be IN the water. So many boating errors are just costly finacially. We kayakers are much more likely to end up in the water, and this is why kayakers get into trouble. No life jackets for some, no cold weather protection etc.. Kayaking lulls folks into thinking it's easy, and it often is. So bad things happen very quickly with kayakers. Jet skis are dangerous as well so I can see injuries happening there.
