There are some negligent people out there life jackets should be a must…
This reminds me of a couple of years ago…my family was going white water rafting down the old man the water levels where very high and our boat was caught in something similar to a weir…it wasn’t man made but it was about the same size as the weir…my Dad was the only one that went under in the water he was stuck for about 20 seconds but than popped up of course he like all of us was wearing a life jacket…my sister, step mother and little brother all had to jump out of the boat and swim for shore the boat ended up stuck in the cycle of the weir pretty terrifying to say the least…but without a life jacket there is a good chance my father would have died
