Marquise Hill was involved in a jetski accident last nite and hasn't been seen since floating away. They recently revised their efforts from rescue to recovery. Prayers to his family and friends

Neither he nor the woman he was with had a life jacket on. He'd be alive today if he was wearing one.

Yep. First thing that came to my mind as soon as I heard the news. How friggin' difficult is it to take 30 seconds to put one of those things on? It's not only mandatory in many states, it's just absolute common sense.
<< <i>oh yeah, the woman COULDNT SWIM....so he saves her apparently then drowns. >>
come on, i doubt either of them could swim..
in a power boat will "sit" on the life jacket and figure they can just grab it if needed - another dumb thing
to do, things can happen so quickly you may not have time to grab it.
Now wearing a vest while operating a personal watercraft is inviting catastrophe.
The best swimmers can be injured while on jetskis and waverunners to the point that swimming is impossible. A properly worn and fastened vest in this case is the lifesaver.
As for Hill I read a comment from one of his friends that he could swim. Think it was in the New Orleans paper.
<< <i>How many of us drive around at times without a seatbelt? >>
Never, not even around the block.
And they saved me and my familes' lives on an icy road in Canada a couple winters ago. You never know when you will need them.
