[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 392742, member: 9937"] Yes all, wear the lanyard. I always do. But I had gone to the river for a quick 1/2 mile run to test the motor and totally forgot. It certainly is embarrassing, however I am the type person that believes you are never to good to not admit your mistakes. If one person actually listens and thinks twice next time they get into their boat, then I am a happy man. When the accident happened all I could do is sit in the bottom of my boat reflecting on the severity of what had just occurred and how fortunate I was to have no injuries. Checking your legs for gashes is never a good feeling. I have never been so scared in my life and I have been in some precarious situations. Also, me being a 24 year old fit man helped in this situation. Throw an older or not so fit person into the mix and you have a serious problem. I don't even know how I was quick enough to grab the rail and hold on let alone do it with one arm and a phone in the other. [/QUOTE]
