Glad they got him out, but too bad the boat didn't sink by itself - because that guy is still on the lake! Just kidding! Hopefully he learned a lesson.
Edit: my kill lanyard is attached to my Mustang Elite PFD, which I wear at all times. I noticed when DNR is checking folks out on a busy creek, they go right for the guys not wearing PFDs. Saw some guys get ticketed and escorted to the ramp last time I was at Oconee (Sugar Creek). They saw my vest and did not even check me.

First thing I do is put on my life jacket before I get my boat ready to launch .I have never gave much thought to wearing the kill switch but after seeing this my thinking has changed.Thanks for the post and hopefully it will convince others to do the same.

A few years ago on either Norfork or Bull Shoals a fishing guide and his two customers(husband and wife) had a accident with fatalities.All three were wearing PFD's.Best I remember the steering cable /hydraulic hose gave way at high speed.Steering turned fully to one side and all three were thrown from the boat.The boat circled and dispatched the guide and the prop cutup both customers.The wife survived but the husband did not.
You can believe you are experienced and infallible but accidents can and do happen to anyone.
It only takes a few seconds for your PFD and kill switch.....Please use them
