Boo Ya! In most places it´s natural to wear a life jacket. Especially when beeing in a small boat on an ocean with big waves. I guess, that´s just to much to ask for.

Not where I'm from.  We keep 'em in the boat with us, and we make the kiddies wear them.  But it's very rare that we put them on.

Are you from the UK, by any chance?

Texas.  But I've lived all over the USA and never lived anywhere that adults normally wore their life jackets.  Except in fishing tournaments where they have to put them on any time the big engine is running.

 

Come to think of it, I don't recall many folks in the hundreds of non-tournament fishing and boating videos I've watched actually wearing them, either.  Except the kiddies, which is often required by law (and good sense) and some of the kayak fishermen who are at significant risk of turning over.

 

So dissing on anyone for not wearing their life jacket is dissing on millions of us.

I would imagine that the average US and UK adult would be able to swim.  Sadly, the opposite is true of most Thais.

True, but one would imagine that, a man who owns a boat would also be able to swim.

Perhaps alcohol was involved.

 

RIP

Ok, but then I am dissing on million out of the moronic thoughts that a life jacket is good on children but not advisable for adults.
I mean, as an adult you probably live with the fantasy that you can swim for hours in 17-19 degree water. They can but it can unfortunately be as low as only 2 hours. 
That kind of fantasies are also moronic.

Slowly ! A  sharp  stick will  not often encourage a reaction that  is  that which  is usefully intended.
